Devi Saraswati is the Hindu procreatrix - wife of the procreator, Lord Brahma. Since it is impossible to sustain the procreation process without wisdom, intelligence, and power, the Goddess Saraswati embodies all three. Her dazzling personal beauty stands for the sheen of Her intelligence; the swan She sits on represents wisdom, given its virtue of being naturally disposed to filter milk from water; and Her four arms indicate Her supreme pervasion over all four directions.
