Salasvati is the Godess of Music in the Hindu tradition---always pictured with a Veena, with four arms, one can imagine she plays it fairly well. Brahman (the God-head) created Salasvati from his own body, but was soon possessed by the beauty of his daughter. Wishing to avoid the lecherous eye of Brahman, Salasvati often tried to escape. Brahman prevented this by growing 3 new faces to be able to look in all directions at once. When Salasvati tried to escape upwords into the heavens, Brahman grew another face on top of his head. Eventually, Salasvati relented and became the bride of Brahman.
