Goddess of learning.

Birth.

Sarasvati is the daughter of 叠谤补丑尘腻. 碍腻尘补诲别惫补 was born from 叠谤补丑尘腻鈥檚 heart; Krodha (anger) was born from his eyebrows; Lobha, from his lower lip, 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨, from his face; the Sindhus from his genitals, and 狈颈谤峁泃颈, from his anus.

The following story about the birth of 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 is from 叠谤补丑尘腻峁囜笉a 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Chapter 43:鈥�

叠谤补丑尘腻 got ready for creation, and while in meditation 蝉补迟迟惫补驳耻峁嘺 (sublime quality) began swelling up in his mind wherefrom a girl was born. 叠谤补丑尘腻 asked her who she was. She answered: "I am born from you. You fix for me a seat and duties." Then 叠谤补丑尘腻 told her that her name was 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 and ordained that she should stay on the tip of everybody鈥檚 tongue. You dance especially on the tongues of learned people. You should also exist on earth in the form of a river, and assuming a third form you should live in me too." 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 agreed to this.

Curse of 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨.

See under 骋补峁単腻.

Misled 碍耻尘产丑补办补谤峁嘺.

When 碍耻尘产丑补办补谤峁嘺 requested 叠谤补丑尘腻 for a boon, 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨, at the instance of the latter, lodged herself in the tongue of 碍耻尘产丑补办补谤峁嘺 and made him ask for Nidr膩vatva (Sleep), something different from what he really desired to get Viz. Nirdevatva (absence of Devas).

Received Ba岣峚v膩gni.

(all-consuming fire). Ba岣峚v膩gni was born at the quarrel between the 叠丑腻谤驳补惫补蝉 and Hehayas. Ba岣峚v膩gni is flames of Aurva, the 叠丑腻谤驳补惫补. (See under Aurva). It was 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 who took the Agni to the ocean. As a result of this, 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨, became a river in India. The story is told in the S峁涐梗峁璱kha峁囜笉a of Padma 笔耻谤腻峁嘺 as follows:鈥�

The world was about to be burnt in Ba岣峚v膩gni, which originated from Aurva, when Indra requested 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 thus: "Oh! Devi! you should deposit this agni in the western ocean; or else the world will be consumed in its flames." To this 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 told 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 as follows: "I am not a free person. I will do nothing without the permission of my father. Therefore, please think of some other means."

The Devas, who understood 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨鈥檚 nature, went to 叠谤补丑尘腻 with their case. Immediately he called 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 to him and asked her to deposit Ba岣峚v膩gni in the western ocean for the safety of himself and the Devas. Unable to disobey her father, 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨, with tears in her eyes, agreed to do so. Then 骋补峁単腻 followed her and she told the former that she (骋补峁単腻) would see her flowing northwards when she reached the eastern region surrounded by Devas.

厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 sent back her companions like 骋补峁単腻, 驰补尘耻苍腻 惭补苍辞谤补尘腻, 骋腻测补迟谤墨 and 厂腻惫颈迟谤墨 who followed her. Then she appeared at the 腻艣谤补尘补 of 鲍迟迟补峁卥补 under the 笔濒补办峁�a tree in the presence of the Devas. Just as 艢颈惫补 carried 骋补峁単腻, the 笔濒补办峁�a tree bore 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 and immediately did 艢颈惫补 give to her Ba岣峚v膩gni in a pot. Because of his blessing the agni did not burn her hands. She went towards the north with the pot and came to 笔耻峁�k补谤颈峁嚹�, and she stopped there to redeem the sins of people. It is believed to this very day that those who drink water from the 笔耻峁�k补谤补 will attain Brahmaloka.

From 笔耻峁�k补谤补 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 flowed towards the west and reaching a date-garden not far off from 笔耻峁�k补谤补 it rose up again where 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 is known as 狈补苍诲腻 as well. There is also another reason for the name 狈补苍诲腻. Once upon a time there was a King called 笔谤补产丑补帽箩补苍补. While hunting in the forest he saw a deer inside a cluster of shrubs and he shot an arrow at it. Then the deer told the King: "What a crime is this! You have wounded me, who am feeding my child. I have heard that the King shall not kill a deer while it is engaged in drinking, sleeping or mating. May you, who have done this cruel act, be transformed into a tiger and roam about this thorny forest." Saying again and again that he did not notice that the deer was feeding its child, the King begged for absolution from the curse. Taking pity on the weeping king the deer told him that he would be redeemed from the curse when he had talked with the cow called 狈补苍诲腻, which would go there after a hundred years.

According to the above curse the king got transformed into a tiger and spent hundred years eating wild animals. After hundred years were over a herd of cows came there grazing under the leadership of a cow called 狈补苍诲腻. Beautiful 狈补苍诲腻 used to walk ahead of the other cows and graze alone at a secret place in the forest. There was a mountain called Rohita there, on the banks of the river. The northern side of the mountain was a dense forest infested by cruel animals. There lived there a very cruel and terrible tiger as big as a mountain. A generous person called Nanda was feeding the cows with grass etc. 狈补苍诲腻, the cow, got separated from the herd and came to the river when the tiger ran after it asking it to stop. Crying aloud the cow said: Oh tiger; I have a child, which has not begun even tasting grass and it is awaiting the return of its mother to the cow-shed at dusk. I shall go and take leave of the child and return so that you may eat me."

Taking pity on the cow the tiger granted its prayer. It returned duly to the tiger at dusk. The tiger, taken by surprise, by the honesty of the cow enquired of it its name, and the cow answered that it was named 狈补苍诲腻 by its master, Nanda. As soon as the name was uttered 笔谤补产丑补帽箩补苍补 was released from his old curse and he became the former king. Dharmadeva then appeared there and asked her to choose the boon she liked and she replied as follows:鈥�"I, with my child, must attain the ultimate place and position, and let this place become a sacred place for munis. Also, let this river 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨, come to be known as 狈补苍诲腻, by my name."

狈补苍诲腻 immediately ascended to heaven and 笔谤补产丑补帽箩补苍补 returned to his palace. River 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 came to be called 狈补苍诲腻 from that day: After flowing through the above-mentioned date-garden towards the south for some distance 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 (狈补苍诲腻) flowed again towards the north. She reached the ocean and deposited therein the pot of Ba岣峚v膩gni. (Padma 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, S峁涐梗峁璱kha峁囜笉a).

厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 as 叠谤补丑尘腻鈥檚 wife.

The 笔耻谤腻峁嘺s mention three wives of 叠谤补丑尘腻, 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨, 厂腻惫颈迟谤墨 and 骋腻测补迟谤墨. But, the three are, according to Matsya 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, one and the same person. The Matsya 笔耻谤腻峁嘺 mentions:鈥數�谤补丑尘�� created, from his own effulgence, a woman, who became famous under the names 艢补迟补谤奴辫腻, 厂腻惫颈迟谤墨, 骋腻测补迟谤墨 and 叠谤补丑尘腻峁嚹�. 叠谤补丑尘腻 fell in love with his daughter and noticing the fact she turned away to the right side of her father. Then did a face appear on his right side. To avoid the amorous looks of the father, she slided off to both his sides, and faces appeared on those sides of 叠谤补丑尘腻. Then 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 jumped up to the sky and a fifth face appeared on his head, turned upwards. Finding escape impossible she yielded to the desire of 叠谤补丑尘腻 and they enjoyed honey-moon for a hundred years. To them was born a son called 厂惫腻测补尘产丑耻惫补 or 痴颈谤腻峁�.

At one place in Skanda 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, 厂腻惫颈迟谤墨 and 骋腻测补迟谤墨 are referred to as different individuals. (See under 厂腻惫颈迟谤墨).

Idol of 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨.

厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨, clad in white clothes, sits on a white lotus. She holds in her hands a string of beads, book and 痴墨峁嚹�. She is depicted in sitting, standing and dancing postures. She is conceived as 艢补办迟颈 related to 痴颈峁ａ箛耻 as also to 艢颈惫补. In certain old works in Bengal, 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨, instead of Bh奴midev墨, is to be seen along with 痴颈峁ａ箛耻. Agni 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, Chapter 50, enjoins that idols of 厂补谤补蝉惫补迟墨 in temple should hold in its hands book, string of beads and 痴墨峁嚹�.
