Description

Explore the evolution of Sarasvati through this scholarly work from the Routledge Hindu Studies Series. This book examines how Sarasvati transitioned from a physical river and river goddess into the goddess of speech, learning, knowledge, arts, and music. By analyzing references in the Vedas, Brahmanas, Mahabharata, and Puranas, the text provides a deep look into her various attributes and manifestations. The discussion extends beyond Hindu traditions to explore her presence in other religious orders. You will find comparisons to her counterparts in Jainism, such as Sutra-devi, and in Buddhism, including Manjusri and Prajnaparamita. The study also covers her connection to the Japanese religion through Benten. This book is an essential resource for those studying religious history, mythology, and the changing perceptions of deities in India.
