• the word Hamsa (Sanskrit: हंस, haṃsa or hansa) a Swan. In the Yajur Veda , is a fabulous bird, which, when given milk mixed with water for its food (in the allegory) separated the two, drinking the milk and leaving the water; thus showing inherent wisdom -- milk standing symbolically for spirit, and water for matter. As these lines from the epic Shakuntala say " On hearing good and evil counsel, a fool takes the evil, as a swine does filth, and a wise man takes the good, as the hansa the milk." Hamsa represents the individual soul or spirit (typified by the pure sunlight-white like color of the swan), or the Universal Soul or Supreme Spirit.
