Ghoshavati
Vasumeni said, "Hi, Udayana!This Gandharva Ghoshavati is a very auspicious instrument. Lord Siva in the body, Parvati in the strings, Vishnu in the bridge, Lakshmi in the Main resonator, Brahma in the secondary resonator, Saraswathi in the Nabhi (center part of the chest board which resonates the sound), Vasuki the serpent king in the pegs, Moon in the Jeevala (the cotton thread pieces used between the string and the bridge) and Sun God in the frets, and thus all Gods are invoked in the Veena. This Veena eradicates all evils and sins and bestows all good things in life. So have this Gandharva Ghoshavati. She creates magic through the strings of the Veena....Sivkishen Ji, Author
