The Vishnu Purana says of the goddess Sarasvati: "Then the mighty and indignant Daityas forcibly seized the cup of Amrita, which was in the hand of Danvantari. But Vishnu, assuming a female form, charmed and deceived them. And, taking the Amrita from them, He gave it to the gods. Shakra and the other deities drank the ambrosia. The enraged demons, seizing their weapons, attacked them. But the gods, infused with new strength by the ambrosial potion, prevailed and put their armies to flight, and they fled through the regions of space and plunged into the subterranean realms of Patala. The gods rejoiced greatly at this, paid homage to the holder of the discus and mace, and resumed their rule in the heavens. The sun shone with renewed splendor and once again performed its assigned task. And the heavenly bodies once again circled in their respective orbits. Fire once again blazed upward, beautiful in its splendor. And the minds of all beings were invigorated with devotion. The three worlds were once again blessed with prosperity. And Indra, the chief of the gods, was restored to power.
