This symbiotic relationship between Brahmā and Tvaṣṭā causes their stars, Rohiṇī and Citrā, to share the same symbiosis. When both stars are simultaneously active, they bestow ample amounts of artistry and skill in creative design.

Tvaṣṭā actually takes two concrete forms in the universe. One, named Viśvakarmā, creates for the gods. The other, named Maya, creates for the anti-gods. [20]

Viśvakarmā literally means “the one who creates everything.” Māyā (which derives from the root, maya) means “art, extraordinary talent.” The word then refers to “magic” and from there to “sorcery, trickery and illusion.” As Viśvakarmā and Maya, Tvaṣṭā creates many fantastic beings and all the art, magic and technology of the gods and anti-gods. These creations fascinate, bewilder and confound all who look upon them.
