Hindus believe that Sarasvati is the goddess of knowledge, music and the arts. Sarasvati has been identified with the Vedic Sarasvati River. She is considered as consort of Brahma, the Hindu god of creation. Thus, with the goddesses Lakshmi and Parvati or Durga, she forms the Tridevi, who are consorts of the male trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, respectively. Sarasvati's children are the Vedas, which are the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism. She is known in Japan as Benzaiten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods.
"In Hindu myth, she is the goddess of rivers and patron of speech, writing, learning, and the arts and sciences. Brahma is her husband."

"In Hindu lore, she is the consort of Brahma and the goddess of knowledge, music, and art, who appears with a vina. Because Vedas, songs offered to the gods, are said to be her creation, she is known as the mother of the Vedas. Brahma was fascinated by her beauty and though she tried to dodge his gaze, each time a new face formed. Finally, after he gained four faces, she realized that she could not escape and gave up, becoming his wife."

In the Animation, Otome has Sarasvati as her main demon. Sarasvati is summoned to fight against Phecda, and briefly manages to significantly damage the complete entity with her Drain attack before it separates. The separate halves of Phecda then destroys her, Hibiki's Suzaku and Io's Kikuri-Hime in a single blast of its combined laser.
It later briefly appears fighting against a Megrez bud, again using Drain to attack it. However, this did not seem to impede Megrez's progress.
