In this word, Swaha, we describe Saraswati as Vakrupuni or embodiment of
all speech. We have also to understand that this word signifies the fact that
she is the embodiment of all that is contained in the Vedas. One other way of
looking at the origin of this word is to look at it as 'Su-aha'. This means
that the prosperity which goes along with the voice of Prajapati is being
handed over to the world. There is another combination, 'swa-atmanam-aha' which
gives the word Swaha. We understand this to mean something which deals with the
knowledge of Atma, and this will give us the full meaning of the word Sakti.
