 [Shri. Kṣītiśachandra Chatterji points out in Mañjūṣā (March,  1958) that the word सरसिजम् has been used in the sense of 'a lotus' probably for the first time by Kālidāsa.  According to lexicographers the word सरसिज is met with first in the Suśruta Saṁhitā (1.46. 124) as an adjective qualifying मत्स्याः
 Bhāravi uses the word in the sense of 'a land lotus in उत्फुल्लस्थल- नलिनीवनादमुष्मादुद्धूतः सरसिजसंभवः परागः. Three stages of being यौगिक,  योगरूढ and रूढ are thus clearly seen in the history of the word.]

 a buffalo
 (अती),  f.,  N.
of the goddess of speech and learning,  (in the later
mythology regarded as the wife or female energy of
the god Brahmā or first deity of the Hindū triad
[see ब्रह्मन्],  and sometimes identified with Vāc, 
q. v.,  and invoked as a kind of muse or patroness of
science and inventress of the Sanskrit language and
letters
 in the earliest mythology she was probably
a river-deity,  her name signifying ‘watery
’ according
to Yāska [Nirukta II. 23] she was regarded both as
a river and as a goddess
 probably this river was to
the earlier Hindūs what the Ganges [said to be only
twice named in the Ṛg-veda] was to the later
sacrifices were doubtless performed on its banks,  and
its sanctity imparted a sacred character to the district
lying between its waters and those of the Dṛṣad-
vatī [see Manu II. 17]
 hence the river Sarasvatī
was not only personified as a river-goddess,  but her
assistance was invoked at the sacrifices performed
near her flowing waters and her influence held to
be necessary for inspiring the Ṛṣis who composed
the sacrificial hymns with eloquence and wisdom
 in
Ṛg-veda II. 41,  16. she is called the best of mothers, 
of rivers,  and of goddesses
 in other places she is
described as bestowing wealth,  fertility,  and offspring, 
as moving along a golden path,  as destroying Vṛtra, 
as associated with the Aśvins,  and even as the wife
of Indra
 in Ṛg-veda VI. 61,  10-12,  VII. 36,  6.
she is called the mother of rivers,  and is said to be
sevenfold or to have seven sisters
 in Mahā-bhārata, 
Śalya-parvan 2189,  seven Sarasvatīs are also men-
tioned,  viz. Su-prabhā,  Kāñcanākṣī,  Viśālā,  Mano-
ramā,  Ogha-vatī,  Su-reṇu,  and Vimalodakā
 in the
Śānti-parvan 12920,  Sarasvatī is called the mother
of the Vedas,  which is also elsewhere said of Vāc, 
though Vāc in the earlier mythology is regarded as
a separate deity
 according to later legends the
goddess Sarasvatī was persuaded to descend from
heaven and confer her invention of language and
letters on the human race by the sage Bharata, 
whence one of her names is Bhāratī
 she is some-
times represented as assuming the form of a Haṃsa
or swan,  and is also called Mahā-śvetā or Mahā-
śuklā from her extreme whiteness)
 N. of a cele-
brated river (held very sacred by the Hindūs and in
the earlier mythology mixed up with the goddess
[see above]
 it corresponds with the modern Sur-
sooty,  which rises in the mountains bounding the
north-east part of the province of Delhi,  and running
in a south-westerly direction becomes lost in the
sands of the great desert
 this river formerly marked
one of the boundaries of the region called Ārya-deśa, 
and of a particularly sacred district called in Manu
II. 17. Brahmāvarta
 in Ṛg-veda VII. 95,  2. it is
represented as flowing into the sea,  although later
legends make it disappear underground and join the
Ganges and Jumnā at Allahabad,  see त्रि-वेणी,  प्र-
याग)
 a river (in general)
 speech,  voice,  eloquence, 
literary composition
 a cow (= गो)
 N. of Durgā
