She gives the power to understand the real meaning of the various difficult Siddhânta works.She explains and makes us understand the difficult passages and She is the remover of all doubts and difficulties.
She acts when we write books, when we argue and judge. when we sing songs of music.She is the time or measure in music. She holds balance and union in vocal and instrumental music. She is the Goddess of speech. She is the Presiding Deity in the knowledge of various subjects.
All the beings in the world earns their livelihood by taking recourse to Her. She is peaceful and holds in Her hands Vina (lute) and books. Her nature is purely Sattvic. Her colour is white like ice-clad mountains, like that of the white sandal, like that of the Kunda flower
She is the bestower of the fruits of the ascetism of the ascetics. She is the Siddhi and Vidya of all.She grants always success to all. Were She not here, the whole host of Brahmins would always remain speechless like the dead cluster of persons.
