In
Hinduism,
Tvashtri is the god of craftsmen and a son of
Surya and
Adita[?]. He made the three worlds with pieces of the
sun (his father, Surya, is the
solar deity), as well as creating the moon and the weapons of the gods, such as
Vajra[?] (
Indra's
thunderbolt). He is the father of
Trisiras, who was killed by Indra. Tvashtri created
Vritra, a fearsome
dragon, in revenge.
