श्रीशिवमहापुराण
रुद्रसंहिता — पार्वतीखण्डअथाष्टत्रिंशोऽध्यायः
Continuing his narration to Nārada, Brahmā describes how Himavān, delighted, adorned his own city for the wedding festival, having its roads sprinkled and swept and every gateway hung with plantain-trunk pillars and mango-leaf festoons, and how, placing the illustrious Garga foremost, he arranged everything fitting and auspicious for his daughter's sake. He then summoned Viśvakarmā, who built an immense pavilion ten thousand yojanas wide, so filled with lifelike artificial lions, cranes, peacocks, dancing women, bowmen, elephants, horses, chariots and foot-soldiers, and with an image of Mahālakṣmī at the gate, that no one could tell still from moving or water from dry land. At the great gateway Viśvakarmā set a crystalline image of Nandī bearing a jewelled Puṣpaka chariot, flanked by four-tusked elephants and sun-bright horses, and fashioned artificial likenesses — true to their forms — of the lokapālas, the sages beginning with Bhṛgu, Viṣṇu with his Garuḍa-kind attendants, Brahmā himself reciting hymns amid his sons the Vedas, and Indra on Airāvata, all to bewilder the gods and sages who would come. Urged on further by Himādri, Viśvakarmā also fashioned, in mere moments, great platforms and the various worlds for the gods' lodging — Satyaloka for Brahmā, Vaikuṇṭha for Viṣṇu, a palace for Indra, dwellings for the lokapālas and for all the other immortals — and finally, having received a boon from Śiva himself, he built for him a resplendent house set in Śivaloka, adorned with the mountain-lord's own emblems. His worldly preparations complete, Himācala waited joyfully for Śambhu's arrival, and Brahmā closes his account of Himālaya, asking Nārada what more he wishes to hear. ब्रह्माजी नारदजीको आगेकी कथा सुनाते हुए बताते हैं कि हिमालयने प्रसन्न होकर विवाहोत्सवके लिये अपनी नगरीको सजाया—मार्गोंपर जल छिड़ककर उन्हें स्वच्छ किया गया तथा प्रत्येक द्वारको केलेके खम्भों एवं आमके पल्लवोंसे बने बंदनवारोंसे सजाया गया; गर्गाचार्यको आगे रखकर उन्होंने अपनी पुत्रीके निमित्त सब मंगल-व्यवस्था की। तदनन्तर उन्होंने विश्वकर्माको बुलाकर दस हजार योजन विस्तृत एक विशाल मण्डपका निर्माण करवाया, जो कृत्रिम सिंहों, सारसों, मयूरों, नृत्य करती स्त्रियों, धनुर्धारी द्वारपालों, हाथियों, घोड़ों, रथों तथा पैदल सैनिकोंसे तथा द्वारपर विराजमान महालक्ष्मीके प्रतिरूपसे इतना परिपूर्ण था कि कोई भी स्थावर-जंगम अथवा जल-स्थलमें भेद नहीं कर पाता था। महाद्वारपर विश्वकर्माने स्फटिकमय नन्दीका प्रतिरूप स्थापित किया, जिसपर रत्नजटित पुष्पक विमान रखा था तथा जिसके दोनों ओर चतुर्दन्त हाथी एवं सूर्यके समान तेजस्वी घोड़े खड़े थे, और लोकपालों, भृगु आदि ऋषियों, गरुडगणसहित विष्णु, वेदरूप पुत्रोंसहित सूक्तपाठ करते स्वयं ब्रह्मा तथा ऐरावतारूढ़ इन्द्र—इन सबके यथार्थ कृत्रिम प्रतिरूप देवताओं तथा मुनियोंको मोहित करनेके लिये बनाये। हिमाद्रिसे और भी प्रेरित होकर विश्वकर्माने क्षणभरमें विशाल मंच तथा देवताओंके निवासके लिये विभिन्न लोक भी रच डाले—ब्रह्माके लिये सत्यलोक, विष्णुके लिये वैकुण्ठ, इन्द्रके लिये भवन, लोकपालों तथा अन्य देवताओंके लिये भी सुन्दर निवास; और अन्तमें शिवजीसे वरदान पाकर उन्होंने शिवलोकमें स्थित, गिरीशके चिह्नोंसे सुशोभित एक दिव्य शम्भुगृहका भी निर्माण किया। इस प्रकार सारी लौकिक व्यवस्था पूर्णकर हिमाचल प्रसन्नतापूर्वक शम्भुके आगमनकी प्रतीक्षा करने लगे, और ब्रह्माजी हिमालयकी यह कथा समाप्तकर नारदजीसे पूछते हैं कि अब वे और क्या सुनना चाहते हैं।

विष्णुको भी गरुड-गणके समस्त पार्षदोंसहित उसी प्रकार अत्यन्त आश्चर्यजनक रूपवाले कृत्रिम स्वरूपमें बनाया गया था।
And Viṣṇu, together with all his attendants of the Garuḍa order, was likewise fashioned as an artificial image of the most wondrous form.
Note'गरुडाख्यैः' ("named/of the class of Garuḍa") is a plural qualifier of the pārṣadas — an unusual but legible way of describing Viṣṇu's Garuḍa-kind attendants, rendered here as "of the Garuḍa order" rather than the more expected 'गरुडाद्यैः' ("beginning with Garuḍa").
विष्णुश्च पार्षदैः सर्वैः (viṣṇuśca pārṣadaiḥ sarvaiḥ) — and Viṣṇu, together with all his attendantsगरुडाख्यैः समन्वितः (garuḍākhyaiḥ samanvitaḥ) — of the Garuḍa orderकृत्रिमो निर्मितस्तद्वत् (kṛtrimo nirmitastadvat) — was likewise fashioned as an artificial imageपरमाश्चर्यरूपवान् (paramāścaryarūpavān) — of the most wondrous form

tathaivāhaṃ sutairvedaissiddhaiśca parivāritaḥ | kṛtrimo nirmitastadvatpaṭhansūktāni nārada 25 ||
हे नारद! उसी प्रकार अपने पुत्रों, वेदों तथा सिद्धोंसे घिरे हुए सूक्तपाठ करते मुझ ब्रह्माका भी एक कृत्रिम प्रतिरूप बनाया गया था।

kiṃ bahūktena devarṣe sarvo vai viśvakarmaṇā | himādripreritenāśu klṛptaḥ surasamājakaḥ 27 ||
Doubtful readingThe compound rendered 'हिमाद्रिप्रेरितेन' is blurred in the source print — the middle akṣara reads as something between 'ग्र' and 'द्रि', and could not be resolved with certainty even after zooming in. The reading 'हिमाद्रिप्रेरितेन' ("urged by the snow-mountain [Himālaya]") is adopted because it alone matches the accompanying Hindi gloss ('हिमालयसे प्रेरित होकर'), but the akṣara itself remains visually uncertain.
हे देवर्षे! अधिक कहनेसे क्या लाभ? हिमाद्रि (हिमालय)-से प्रेरित होकर विश्वकर्माने शीघ्र ही सम्पूर्ण देवसमाजकी रचना कर डाली।
O sage among gods, what need is there of saying more? The whole assembly of the gods was swiftly fashioned by Viśvakarmā, urged on by the mountain Himādri.
