Consider "Goddess Ganga, the divine lovely river that flows through the three worlds" (Metaphor)

Early in the book, we encounter a parable of the Goddess Ganga seducing the great creator Indra. Like in many celestial origin stories, a goddess is used to embody the principle of fertility that fosters all of existence, and the metaphor likening her to a river links the cosmos with the very nature to which it gives birth.
