Hiranyagarbha

Golden womb or egg in Hindu cosmogony

Hiranyagarbha is the source of the creation of the universe or the manifested cosmos in Vedic philosophy. It finds mention in one hymn of the Rigveda, known as the Hiraṇyagarbha Sūkta, suggesting a single creator deity, identified in the hymn as Prajāpati. The concept of the "golden womb" is first mentioned in the Vishvakarma Sūkta which picturized the "primeval womb" as being rested set upon the navel of Vishvakarman. This imagery was later transferred to Vishnu and Surya.
