Historical references
Bhramara is mentioned in the ancient Sanskrit texts, particularly in the context of the Hindu goddess Saraswati. In one such text, the Bhramara-Gita, Bhramara is described as the messenger of Saraswati and is often depicted carrying a lotus flower in her mouth. The Bhramara-Gita is believed to have been composed between the 6th and 8th centuries CE during the Gupta Empire.

Another reference to Bhramara can be found in the Mahabharata, the great Hindu epic. In this text, Bhramara is mentioned as the name of a celestial bee that plays a significant role in the Churning of the Ocean of Milk (Samudra-Manthana). During this event, the gods and demons work together to obtain the divine nectar, Amrita, from the ocean. Bhramara is said to have carried the poison that arose from the churning in her womb, thus protecting the universe from its destructive effects. This event is believed to have occurred before the beginning of the Mahabharata war, around the 4th century BCE.
