This is the story of Shri Hayagreeva who was the incarnation of Shri Mahavishnu. If there was someone who could be a teacher to Goddess Saraswati herself, it was Shri Hayagreeva. He is worshipped as the god of knowledge and wisdom, with a human body and a horse's head, brilliant white in color, with white garments and seated on a white lotus. Haya means horse and griva means neck. So, the deity with a horse head from his neck is known as Hayagriva. The book also speaks about Goddess Saraswati, her incarnations, her worship and the important place she occupies in learning, arts and music. She is seated on a white lotus, wearing a white silk sari and holding a book. Her four arms represent the human personality-learning, mind, intellect, alertness and ego. These four arms are also known to reflect the 4 Vedas-Rigveda, Atharvaveda, Samveda and Yajurveda.
