The Harivamsha states that Brihaspati’s sister was a beautiful lady who became the wife of the eighth Vasu, Prabhas & Vishvakarma was born from her!

Brihaspati’s sister was a beautiful lady who practised brahmacharya. She became successful through yoga and roamed around the entire universe, bereft of attachment. She became the wife of the eighth Vasu, Prabhasa. The immensely fortunate Prajapati Vishvakarma was born from her.

If I remember correctly, Prabhas was also the Vasu who got cursed by Vasishth to be born on earth because of his wife's insistence on him stealing the Brahmarishi's cow. This lady seems to be the one behind that prank.

SO my question is - Who is this lady & is she really the mother of Vishwakarma?
