FWIW, a shloka (or whatever) from Yoga-kuNDalyupaniSat: tayoraadau sarasvatyaashchaalanaM kathayaami te . arundhatyeva kathitaa puraavidbhiH sarasvatii .. 9.. I guess that means something like: Of those two (tayoH) at first (aadau) I'll tell you (kathayaami te) "about" the movement(? chaalanam) of Sarasvatii (sarasvatyaaH). Sarasvatii is called (kathitaa) Arundhatii (arundhatyeva < arundhatii + eva) by those who know the events of former times (puraavidbhiH). arundhatI f. a medicinal climbing plant AV. ; the wife of Vasisht2ha R. &c. ; the wife of Dharma Hariv. ; the little and scarcely visible star Alcor (belonging to the Great Bear , and personified as the wife of one of its seven chief stars , Vasishtha , or of all the seven , the so-called seven R2ishss ; at marriage ceremonies Arundhati1 is invoked as a pattern of conjugal excellence by the bridegroom) A1s3vGr2. &c. ; ***N. of a kind of super natural faculty (also called kun2d2alini1)***. purAvid m. knowing the events of former times GopBr. Mn. MBh. &c.
