Dear Anand, A reading of your eloquant posting on Pativratyam of the jeeva in conjunction with the picture of Saraswati (wife of Brahma) sitting on the lap of Lord Hayagriva sounds a little odd. What happens to HER Paativratyam ? What do you imply ? Even in our own work-a -day world, the daughter sits on the lap of her father only when the bridegroom ties the Tirumangalyam in her neck. But, we do not countenance a situation where a daughter-in-law sits on the lap of her father- in-law under any circumstances !. (Since Brahma is Lord Narayana's son, Saraswati, Brahma's wife becomes Lord Narayana's daughter-in-law.) So, I should think that this projection in the picture may not present the correct position. May be this is a fit case to seek clarification from our Acharyas back home. Dasoham Anbil Ramaswamy
