			== Etymology ==
			''Sárasvatī'' (cognate:''Saraswati'') is the feminine nominative singular form of the adjective ''sárasvat'' (which occurs in the [[Rigveda]]<ref>e.g. 7.96.4, 10.66.5</ref> as the name of the keeper of the [[celestial waters]]), derived from ‘sáras’ + ‘vat’, meaning ‘having sáras-’. Sanskrit ''sáras-'' means ‘lake, pond’ (cf. the derivative ''sārasa-'' ‘lake bird = [[Sarus crane]]’). [[Manfred Mayrhofer\|Mayrhofer]] considers unlikely a connection with the root *''sar-'' ‘run, flow’ but does agree that it could have been a river that connected many lakes due to its abundant volumes of water-flow.<ref>Mayrhofer, ''[[EWAia]]'', s.v. Saraswatī as a common noun in Classical Sanskrit means a region abounding in pools and lakes, the river of that name, or any river, especially a holy one. Like its cognates [[Welsh language\|Welsh]] ''hêl, heledd'' ‘river meadow’ and Greek {{lang\|grc\|ἕλος}} (''hélos'') ‘swamp’; the root is otherwise often connected with rivers (also in river names, such as [[Sarju\|Sarayu]] or [[Susartu]]); the suggestion has been revived in the connection of an "[[out of India]]" argument, [http://www.omilosmeleton.gr/english/documents/RVpH.pdf N. Kazanas, "Rig-Veda is pre-Harappan"], p. 9.</ref>

			''Sarasvatī'' may be a cognate of Avestan ''Harax<sup>v</sup>atī'', perhaps.<ref>by Lommel (1927); Lommel, Herman (1927), ''Die Yašts des Awesta'', Göttingen-Leipzig: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht/JC Hinrichs</ref> In the younger Avesta, ''Harax<sup>v</sup>atī'' is [[Arachosia]], a region described to be rich in rivers, and its [[Old Persian]] cognate ''Harauvati''.

			It may be named after the holy [[Sarasvati River\|Sarasvati river]] mentioned in the [[Rigveda]].
