Haṁsa
Haṃsa. Wild goose (the bar-headed goose), which migrates to India from Central Asia. Its purity of colour and gracefulness in flight led to its becoming a symbol, in the Upaniṣads, of the unity at the heart of all manifestation, e.g. one spirit in the midst of the world. It is also the vehicle (vāhana) of Brahmā.
