  • Saraswati Goddess Figure XL from Burma known as Thurathadi Dewi.
  • In Buddhist Arts of Burma, she is called Thurathadi Dewi.
  • Students in Burma pray for her blessings before their exams. She is also believed to be, in Mahayana pantheon of Burma, the Protector of Buddhist Scriptures.
  • Measure approx. 17" tall x 13" wide x 7 1/2" deep
  • Ca. Mid 20th century.

  • Saraswati is the Hindu Goddess of Knowledge, Music, Art, Wisdom and Learning worshipped throughout Nepal and India. She is a part of the Trinity (Tridevi) of Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati. All the three Manifestations help the Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva to create, maintain and regenerate-recycle the Universe respectively.
  • The goddess Saraswati is often depicted as a beautiful woman dressed in pure white, often seated on a white lotus, which symbolizes light, knowledge and truth. She not only embodies knowledge but also the experience of the highest reality. Her iconography is typically in white, the color symbolizing Sattwa Guna or Purity, Discrimination for True Knowledge, Insight and Wisdom.
  • She is generally shown to have four arms, but sometimes just two. When shown with four hands, those hands symbolically mirror Her husband Brahma's four heads, representing Manas (mind, sense), Buddhi (intellect, reasoning), Citta (imagination, creativity) and Ahamkāra (self consciousness, ego). Brahma represents the abstract, while She represents action and reality.
  • The four hands hold items with symbolic meaning — a Pustaka (book or script), a Mālā (rosary, garland), a Water Pot and a Musical Instrument (vīnā). The book She holds symbolizes the Vedas representing the Universal, Divine, Eternal, and True Knowledge as well as all forms of Learning. A Mālā of crystals, representing the power of meditation, inner reflection and spirituality. A pot of water represents the purifying power to separate right from wrong, the clean from the unclean, and essence from the inessential. In some texts, the pot of water is symbolism for Soma - the drink that liberates and leads to knowledge. The most famous feature on Saraswati is a musical instrument called a Veena, which represents all creative arts and sciences, and Her holding it symbolizes expressing knowledge that creates harmony. Saraswati is also associated with Anurāga, the love for and rhythm of music, which represents all emotions and feelings expressed in speech or music.
  • A Hamsa or Swan is often located next to Her feet. In Hindu Mythology, the Hamsa is a sacred bird, which if offered a mixture of milk and water, is said to be able to drink the milk alone. It thus symbolizes the ability to discriminate between good and evil, essence from outward show and the eternal from the evanescent
  • She is often depicted near a flowing river or other body of water, which depiction may constitute a reference to Her early history as a river goddess.
  • Saraswati is also worshipped outside the Indian subcontinent, in nations such as Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia and Burma.
  • Some Hindus celebrate the Festival of Vasant Panchami (the fifth day of spring, and also known as Saraswati Puja in many parts of India in Her honor. The Celebration is marked by helping young children learn how to write alphabets on that day. The Goddess is also revered by believers of the Jain religion of west and central India, as well as some Buddhist sects throughout South East Asia.
  • Sarasvati, is a Sanskrit fusion word of saras, meaning "pooling water", but also sometimes translated as "speech"; and vati meaning "She who posesses" (also found in the name of Parvati, "She who has Wings"). Originally associated with the river or rivers known as Saraswati, this combination therefore means "She who has ponds, lakes, and pooling water" or occasionally "She who possesses speech".

Great Investment Printer
Style: ET-5850, Set: FAX/Print/Copy/Scan
This is a great overall printer, especially for a home office or small business setup. It prints quickly, handles everyday documents with ease, and the EcoTank system is very convenient and cost-effective over time. Honestly, it could even hold its own in a regular office environment because of how efficient and fast it is. It is also easy to connect to from a phone, laptop or computer. It was compatible with all the devices and computers in my household, even those with Windows 10. That said, if your main goal is printing high-quality photos, this wouldn’t be the best option Epson offers. Photo quality is decent, but not exceptional. If photo printing is important to you, I would recommend looking into the Epson 8550 instead. Overall, a solid, reliable printer for everyday use—just not the top choice for photo-focused needs.

Excellent Epson, worth the investment!
Style: ET-5800, Set: FAX/Print/Copy/Scan
First, this is a big printer so double check the measurement specs before purchasing if space is an issue. First impressions: very well built, especially comparing to ET versions such as the ET-4800 ( see my review on that one for details). This is a sturdy printer, you can feel it when you lift the scanning bed, pull out the paper trays, etc. Printing quality: excellent right out of the box. I didn’t need to do an extensive alignment or cleaning during setup, everything printed perfectly and was photo quality. Setup was easy. Although it has a fax feature, I don’t use that so I didn’t need to set it up. Printing: using the rear paper trays, it prints on 100lb card stock very easily. I recommend only loading a few pages at a time to avoid any issues. I loaded 5 pages and made prints without any issues. 65 lb card stock was also easy to print on using the back paper feed tray and I loaded 8 sheets without an issue but know it could probably handle a few more. Just remember that the thicker the paper the more chance of having it jam with multiple sheets in the rear paper try. AND, only use the rear tray feed for cardstock or other thick paper. The actual paper tray drawers, there are two and you can set them up for different sizes and types of paper, very convenient. Now the cool detail: most printers have a flimsy plastic slide tray to catch the prints as they come out of the printer. Not this one. This has a really amazing tray catch that comes out of the printer automatically (it is motorized), and when you are done there is a little illuminated icon on the screen that looks like the printer, you press it and the tray retracts. Pretty cool detail. The screen: very easy to use and you can actually see it, unlike the postage stamp size screen they used in the ET-4800. All features are very easy to find and select and the icons are illuminated. Using this screen, setup was very easy. Ink: again a very good feature and very well thought out. The bottles are keyed so they fit in the receptacle. Simply unscrew the cap, tip them over (they won’t spill or leak) and place them in the correct color, the bottles automatically fill the tank. When done filling, remove the bottle and put the cap back on, again they won’t spill or leak because they have a mechanism that prevents it from doing so. Overall: excellent printer, expensive but over time the ink savings alone help ease the sticker price. It is heavy and sturdy, has wireless capability so you can put it anywhere and print with ease connected to your wireless network, has the ability to print from android and IPhone with an app, and it has amazing prints. This is one printer I highly recommend.

No more expensive ink cartridges
Style: ET-5800, Set: FAX/Print/Copy/Scan
Great printer. I am sick and tired of HP giving me problems with their ink cartridges. I discarded my HP office Jet and replaced it with this Epson printer. Easy to set up. Came with two sets of ink bottles. Easy and clean to fill tanks with ink. The screen on my old HP Office Jet printer was so small and difficult to use. This Epson printer has a very large LCD screen which can tilt if you want and very easy to use. Separate paper trays for letter and legal or other sizes. Print, scan and fax. Connect via cable or WiFi. I wish I had purchased this sooner.

Error handling is extremely poor
Style: ET-5800, Set: FAX/Print/Copy/Scan
This printer will throw errors even though things are working. Some examples are: 1) Printing from an Apple device you will get a “printer busy“ error, even though the print goes through. 2) When connecting to Wi-Fi, the printer will send a “password incorrect” error message, even though it connects to the Wi-Fi. 3) The windows desktop application cannot find the printer, even though you can print to it from that same machine. When calling Epson for Support, you will find people who insist you do things like go through the WPS procedure even though you tell them your router does not support WPS. You will be forced to go through steps until they say something like “now press the WPS button on the router“ when they will agree with you that your router does not support WPS. They will also take you a very long way to get to a ping command because that is what their documentation tells them to do, even if you’re well aware of how to start a ping in a much quicker way. Print quality and speed seem to be very good but, at this price point, the error handling issues and lack of adequate support are unacceptable. The result in a lot of frustration, wasted time and wasted paper/ink.

Very nice and fast printer, but some info...
Style: ET-5850, Set: FAX/Print/Copy/Scan
The printer is nice and very fast printing regular documents in color or black and white. Printing photos is slower but still pretty faster than other printers I have seen. The model I purchased was the ET-5850, it came with 2 sets of full size ink bottles. When you set up the printer one set will fill the tanks. You think run through setup on the display and it will take 9 minutes to prime the system. This is initially getting the ink from the tanks to fill the empty tubes to the print heads. When this is done (takes 9 minutes) the tanks will be ½ full. Good thing you have the second set. The size in the images shows the depth of the printer to be 31 inches, it's not, it's about 19 inches with the back tray closed and the output tray retracted. Installing the driver way very simple. I did not use the driver disc as I'm running the latest OS on my computers. My Mac's all found the printer and set them up. (Note: I run in dark mode on my computers and when the driver installs it as the back version of the printer for the icon we is very hard to see in dark mode. I was able to change it to the image that matched the color my printer, but that takes some under the hood tinkering.) Both of my Windows computers also found and set up the printers without any issue. You can also set up an email address for your printer that people can email you documents to it. The Epson website gives you a lot of control over this. You can change to a custom name before the @ in the address or use the random one they picked. You can also limit who can send to your printer. That is something that I liked on my old HP this one replaced. Two items that I think they need to fix: The output tray comes out automatically when you start to print. It does not retract automatically, there is a symbol on the control panel that you tap to get it to retract. They should have made it so that when you take what was printed that it automatically retracts as it sticks out pretty far. The web interface isn't great. If you have ever used the web interface for a commercial copier, then you know what I mean. For example, when putting in contacts for faxing/scanning/emailing, the interface doesn't allow you to put in email addresses. There is an option to select the type of contact, fax, email, etc, but if doesn't give you a box to put in the email address. If you add the entry on the display for the device its self then you can put in the email. You can then go back to the web interface and edit the entry and the email address. Crazy right. Luckily I didn't have many to put in. If they could five those two items I would give it 5 stars. I'm going to email Epson my thoughts and see what happens.
