In Hindu mythology, the daughter of
Vishvakarma, workman and architect
for the gods. Sanjna has been married to
Surya, the Sun, but finds his dazzling
radiance too much to bear. To help his
daughter adjust to her husband,
Vishvakarma trims off some bits of the
sun with his divine tools, removing
enough of his radiance that Samjna can
bear to be with him. The trimmed-off
parts of the sun are used to build the
Pushpak Viman, an aerial car, as well as
the god Vishnu’s discus (chakra), the
god Shiva’s trident, and various other
divine weapons.
