Mah膩sarasvat墨 is one of the three primary forms of Dev墨, the other two being Mah膩lak峁墨 and Mah膩k膩l墨. Not to be confused with Sarasvat墨, she is a more powerful cosmic aspect (惫测补峁ａ弓颈) of Devi and represents the gu峁嘺 (universal energy) named sattva.

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: The Jaina Iconography1) 骋补耻谤墨 (啶椸啶班) (or M膩nav墨, 艢谤墨vats膩-Dev墨) is the name of the Yak峁峁嚹� accompanying 艢谤别测腻峁兣沘苍腻迟丑补: the eleventh of twenty-four T墨rtha峁僰aras or Jinas, commonly depicted in Jaina iconography.鈥擺...] This eleventh Yak峁峁嚹� belongs to the eleventh T墨rtha峁僰ara 艢谤别测腻峁兣沘苍腻迟丑补. The Digambara representation of the Yak峁峁嚹� known therein as 骋补耻谤墨 rides, according to their accounts, anantelope and bears a club, lotus, urn and Varada in her hands. The 艢vet膩mbara variant of the same Yak峁 in the name of M膩nav墨 or 艢谤墨vats膩 Dev墨 has been described as riding a lion and holding a Varada club, urn and goad.
The name 骋补耻谤墨 originates evidently from the Brahmanic 骋补耻谤墨, the wife of 艢iva. Here, in this instance, the Yak峁, of whom 骋补耻谤墨 is the consort is called 莫艣vara. Her other aspect is represented by a Vidy膩dev墨, known by the same name. Now, the 艢vet膩mbaras give her the name of 艢谤墨vats膩 or M膩nav墨. This name, however, presents an anomaly due to the identity of M膩nav墨 with the Digambara Yak峁峁嚹�, of 艢墨talan膩tha bearing the same name. Thus, it is possible to explain the name 艢谤墨vats膩 as originating from the 艢谤墨vats膩 figure, the canonical symbol of 艢墨talan膩tha. As regards the attributes, which adorn the hands of the Dev墨 some of them are war-like, as worthy of a Yak峁峁嚹�, and others are benign, as symbolic of a goddess of learning.
2) 骋补耻谤墨 (啶椸啶班) also refers to one of the sixteen Vidy膩dev墨s (goddesses of learning).鈥敵也钩馨� of the 艢vet膩mbara type rides on an alligator (godh膩) and bears four hands equipped with Varada, club, rosary and water-lily. In Digambara form, too, 骋补耻谤墨 has an alligator as her vehicle and holds lotus as her symbol. There is also 骋补耻谤墨, the Digambara Yak峁峁嚹� of 艢rey膩峁僺an膩tha. Some of her symbols, such as lotus, Varada are identical with those of this Vidy膩dev墨. As an alligator is mythologically associated with a form of Brahm膩峁嚹�, 骋补耻谤墨 or Durg膩, we have reason enough to infer that the goddess, model came after her. The alligator and some of the symbols such as water-lily and urn indicate her connection with the goddess Ga峁単膩 of Brahmanism.
