Rigveda
A divine figure (the 'hound of the gods') who finds the hidden cattle-pen in the Vala myth, enabling the human clan to enjoy the cattle.
Saramā found the firm, enclosed cattle-pen — thereby now the human clan enjoys.
At the bidding of Indra and the Aṅgirases, Saramā found the sustenance for her offspring;
When Saramā found the breach in the rock — who made that ancient great flood to flow properly together?
Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa
A rākṣasī, secretly a devoted friend of Sītā within Rāvaṇa's household.
Saramā saw her friend Sītā senseless, having partially risen and then collapsed, like a mare in the dust.
Seeing Sītā bewildered, a Rākṣasī named Saramā — a dear and affectionate friend — quickly approached Vaidehī.
To Saramā speaking thus, Sītā, overcome by former grief, spoke again in sweet and gentle words.
