Sarasvati is known as the Goddess of the [[Word]]. She is identified with Vac, the Word. She represents eloquence and articulates the wisdom of the Law. She is the Mother-Teacher to those of us who love the Law revealed by Brahma, and she is the power of volition, the will and motivation to be the Law in action. Sarasvati represents the union of power and intelligence from which organized creation arises.

In the book ''Symbolism in Hinduism'', A. Parthasarathy notes that the name ''Sarasvati'' literally means “the one who gives the essence of our own Self.” Sarasvati is sometimes represented with four hands, sitting on a lotus. She holds the sacred scriptures in one hand and a lotus in another. With the remaining two hands, she plays the Indian lute (veena).<ref>A. Parthasarathy, “Consorts of the Three Gods,” in R. S.
