<blockquote>The predominant themes in Sarasvati’s appearance are purity and transcendence. She is almost always said to be pure white like snow, the moon, or the kunda flower.... Her garments are said to be fiery in their purity....</blockquote> | <blockquote>The predominant themes in Sarasvati’s appearance are purity and transcendence.

<blockquote> | <blockquote>Белый лебедь отображает ее трансцендентную природу и является символом духовного мастерства и совершенства в индуизме... 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> | ||
Sarasvati is associated with speech, poetry, music and culture and is known as the Goddess of Learning and the Patroness of the Arts and Music. She is revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. To Buddhists, she is the consort of [[Manjushri]], the bodhisattva of wisdom. Buddhists appeal to Manjushri for intelligence, wisdom, mastery of the teaching, the power of exposition, eloquence and memory. He works with [[Lord Maitreya]]. The two are sometimes depicted in a triad with [[Gautama Buddha]] in which Manjushri represents the wisdom aspect and Maitreya the compassion aspect of Buddhist teaching. Like Sarasvati, Manjushri brings the gift of illumination. | Sarasvati is associated with speech, poetry, music and culture and is known as the Goddess of Learning and the Patroness of the Arts and Music.
