These correspondences are not always consistent. Ganesh, for example, is sometimes shown with a peacock as his vehicle, although a peacock is the customary vehicle of his brother Skanda (also known as [[Kartikeya]] and other names) as well as the vehicle sometimes associated with the goddess Saraswati. Even more rarely, the elephant-bodied Ganesh maybe seen riding another elephant, or a lion, or a many-headed serpent.<ref name="GANAPTI">[http://ganapati.club.fr/anglais/adetform2.html Forms of Ganesh: The Mouse Mount and Other Ganesh Mounts]. Accessed August 10, 2007.</ref>
As the assistant of a deity, the ''vahana'' serves the function of doubling his or her powers. Durga the warrior could not have destroyed the demon [[Mahishasura]] without the aid of her vehicle, Manashthala the lion. Lakshmi, goddess of fortune, dispenses both material and spiritual riches from her mount, Uluka the owl. Ganesh, remover of obstacles, cannot go everywhere despite his elephant-like strength. However, his vehicle, Mushika the mouse or Ulaka the rat, can slide into the smallest crevice and overcome the greatest obstacles.
