Tvashtr

He is the maker of Indra's vajra — the weapon that kills the Vritra this programme added in lane 16 — and he is also, in the fuller story, Vritra's father, which would make the vajra a father's tool used on his son. The treatment consulted gives neither, so neither is written, and both are census notes. The corpus separately holds `hindu_vishwakarma`, the later divine architect who takes over this office; the two are not merged, because the tradition itself keeps them distinct even while overlapping them.
