- melodious string sounds
When you begin singing Pashupati's various stories on the vina with nodding head in good speech, Vani (Saraswati) quietly covers her own vina with her garment, ashamed that its string melodies are being surpassed by the sweetness of your voice, showing how the Goddess's music transcends even the goddess of arts.
