Brahma and Saraswati 创造之神梵天和妻子辩才女神

YKK

  In the beginning, Brahma sprang from the cosmic golden egg and he then created good & evil and light & dark from his own person. Brahma then created ancestors and men.
  The gods feared that men could become so powerful that they might challenge their reign, therefore, they asked Brahma how best to prevent this. His response was to create wanton women who "lusting for sensual pleasures, began to stir men up. Then the lord of gods, the lord, created anger as the assistant of desire, and all creatures, falling into the power of desire and anger, began to be attached to women" (Mahabharata in Hindu Myths, 36).
  Originally Brahma had five heads but when he lusted after his daughter Sandhya an outraged Shiva cut off the head which had ogled the goddess (or burned it with his central eye).
  Saraswati (also Sarasvati) is the Hindu goddess of learning, wisdom, music, and aesthetics.
  Saraswati first appears in the Rigveda. In the Sanskrit and the epic Mahabharata, she becomes the goddess of language. It is said that she is the goddess of language and knowledge, and the creator of Sanskrit and Tiancheng alphabet.
  In Hindu mythology, Saraswati is the wife of the great god Brahma. However, according to some traditions, she was first the wife of Vishnu.
  Sarasvati is also worshipped as the goddess of learning in Jainism and by some Buddhist sects.
  The goddess has her own festivals, notably the Saraswati Puja, held on the first day of spring. Saraswati is also worshipped along with other major goddesses in the pan-Indian celebration of Navaratri.

Brahma is the four faced god in the Hindu theology and is considered as the god of creation. Saraswati is the consort of Lord Brahma. The wonderful symbolism behind Brahma and Saraswati is highly interesting.

According to legend, Saraswati was the wife of Brahma, before that she was the daughter of Brahma, created by Brahma with one of his fingers, and Brahma's marriage to his daughter was much despised in the faery world, and even more, Shiva cut off one of Brahma's heads because of this, so that Brahma was left with four heads. The monogamy of the great Hindu gods is also reflected, although Brahma later created many sons for himself with his toes and fingers, but Saraswati was the only wife.The related stories are really fascinating.

萨拉斯瓦蒂即辩才天女，是印度教的学习、智慧、音乐和美学女神。萨拉斯瓦蒂这个名字首次出现在梨俱吠陀中，在《梵书》和史诗《摩诃婆罗多》中，她变为语言女神。后传说她是语言、知识女神，是梵语及天城体字母的创造者。在印度的神话当中，萨拉斯瓦蒂是大神梵天的妻子，然而，在一些传统中，她首先是毗湿奴的妻子。萨拉斯瓦蒂也被耆那教和一些佛教教派崇拜为学习女神。萨拉斯瓦蒂也与其他主要女神一起在泛印度的纳瓦拉特里庆祝活动中受到崇拜。
