Imagination can expand or contract the mind. The Sarasvati has dried up according to experts but people don't know what this means. It can be taken literally or symbolically. Saraswati is a well- defined goddess. Her stories are rare but always relate to language. The devas invoke her just when the demon Kumbhakarna is about to ask Brahma for a boon. In this, Saraswati is the first creation of Brahma and even the first woman created by Brahma and he becomes infatuated with her. This 'incestuous' affection is frowned upon and Rudra-Shiva keeps Brahma from pursuing her. Again, this can be viewed literally or symbolically. Brahma's creation is a mirror that reflects his own personality.
