Hiranyagarbha is known as Prajāpati.
Hiranyagarbha, the 'golden germ' or cosmic egg, is the first-born creative principle from which the universe unfolds. The Rigveda hymn to Hiranyagarbha (10.121) ends by naming him Prajapati, the lord of creatures, and the Upanishads and later texts identify Hiranyagarbha with Prajapati (and with Brahma), the cosmic soul who is the totality of all individual minds.
Vishvakarma is the divine architect of a different Rigvedic hymn. 'Sahasraka' and 'Sahasra Sirsu' echo the thousand-headed Purusha of the Purusha Sukta, a separate image of the cosmic person, not the name of Hiranyagarbha.
