<blockquote>Sarasvati’s transcendent nature ... is also suggested in her vehicle, the swan. The swan is a symbol of spiritual transcendence and perfection in Hinduism.... Sarasvati, astride her swan, suggests a dimension of human existence that rises above the physical, natural world. Her realm is one of beauty, perfection, and grace; it is a realm created by artistic inspiration, philosophic insight, and accumulated knowledge, which have enabled human beings to so refine their natural world that they have been able to transcend its limitations. Sarasvati astride her swan beckons human beings to continued cultural creation and civilized perfection.... She not only underlies the world and is its creator but is the [very] means to transcend the world.<ref>David Kinsley, ''Hindu Goddesses: Visions of the Divine Feminine in the Hindu Religious Tradition'' (Berkeley, Calif.: University of California Press, 1986), pp. 62, 141.</ref></blockquote> | <blockquote>Sarasvati’s transcendent nature ... is also suggested in her vehicle, the swan.
