Brahmi and Sundari, the beautiful daughters of Samvadi, learned mathematics well, understanding the place values of units, tens, etc. [10] There is no glory or art without language. Therefore, Vrishabhadeva, the teacher of the Jain scriptures, first taught them language. [10] These highly intelligent daughters, like Saraswati, learned all of language, both words and meaning, from their father's mouth, free from any doubts or errors. [11] Those who know language, like the Gandharvas, call the combination of grammar, prosody, and rhetoric as language. [11] At that time, a great grammar text, called Swayambhu, created by Vrishabhadeva, became famous. It had more than a hundred chapters and was as deep as the ocean. [112] Similarly, he taught prosody in many chapters and showed its twenty-six divisions, like Ukta, Atyukta, etc. [113] The Lord, the master of many sciences, also explained the six suffixes of prosody: Prastar, Nasht, Uddishta, Ekdvitrilghu Kriya, Sankhya, and Adhvayoga. [114] While compiling the collection of figures of speech, or in the text of the collection of figures of speech, the Lord described figures of speech like Upma, Rupak, Yamak, etc. He explained in detail the two paths of figures of speech, namely, verbal figures of speech and figurative figures of speech, and also described the ten vital principles, namely, Madhurya, Oja, etc. [115] Then, the knowledge of grammar, like a lamp, illuminated both Brahmi and Sundari, and all their knowledge and arts matured on their own. [116] Thus, these two daughters, who had learned all the sciences from their teacher or father, became eligible to become incarnations of Saraswati. Meaning: They became so knowledgeable that Saraswati herself would incarnate in them.
