Śrutirūpiṇī (श्रुतिरूपिणी) refers to “she who constitutes the form of the Vedas” and is used to describe Goddess Sarasvatī, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.8 (“The detailed description of the chariot etc.”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “The divine chariot of lord Śiva consisting of all the worlds was built by Viśvakarman with devoted effort. [...] Goddess Sarasvatī in the form of the Vedas constituted the bells of the bow [ghaṃṭā sarasvatī devī dhanuṣaḥ śrutirūpiṇī]. The brilliant Viṣṇu became the arrow and Agni the spear-head. O sage, the four Vedas are said to be his horses. The remaining planets became their embellishments. His army came up from water. The winds were his feathers, wings etc. Vyāsa and other sages were the drivers of the vehicle. [...]”
