Vedic Reference
EnglishViśva-karman Bhauvana (‘descendant of Bhuvana’) is the
name of a quite mythical king. He is said in the Aitareya
Brāhmaṇa to have been consecrated by Kaśyapa, to whom he
offered the earth (i.e., presumably a piece of land) as a sacrificial
fee
in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa^2 he performed the Sarvamedha
(‘universal sacrifice’), and made a similar offer
in both cases
the earth refused to be given. The story seems to contain a
reference to the early dislike of gifts of land, ^3 but it cannot be
stated with certainty that this is the meaning.
