Sarasvati, astride her swan, suggests a dimension of human existence that rises above the physical, natural world.

Sarasvati | Sarasvati está associada à linguagem, à poesia, à música e à cultura e é conhecida como a Deusa do Aprendizado e Patrocinadora das Artes e da Música. Reverenciada tanto pelos hindus como pelos budistas, estes consideram-na consorte de [[Special:MyLanguage/Manjushri|Manjushri]], o bodhisattva da sabedoria. Os budistas apelam para Manjushri pedindo inteligência, sabedoria, mestria dos ensinamentos, poder de exposição, eloquência e memória. Ele trabalha com o [[Special:MyLanguage/Lord Maitreya|Senhor Maitreya]]. Às vezes, os dois são retratados formando um trio com [[Special:MyLanguage/Gautama Buddha|Gautama Buda]], no qual Manjushri representa o aspecto da sabedoria e Maitreya o da compaixão do ensinamento Budista. Como Sarasvati, Manjushri traz o dom da iluminação. | ||
