She was made the goddess of music because flowing rivers were perceived as a wonderful sound, the goddess of eloquence because music is associated with flowing words, the goddess of learning because eloquence is associated with wisdom, and the goddess of good fortune, wealth, and fertility. The most commonly familiar image of her is one of a single face with two hands, sitting cross-legged and playing the biwa, a symbol of the goddess of music. However, there are also many eight-armed Benzaiten statues with eight hands, each holding a weapon such as a vajra, sword, axe, or bow.
