• In the Middle East, the Great Mother of Ephesus was portrayed with a fish-shaped amulet placed in front of her sex;
• In China, the Great Mother Kwan-yin was also represented in the form of a fish.
• In India, Kali is called “she who has fish eyes”, and the fish is also a symbol of Vishnu, who appears in this form to the lawgiver Manu to warn of an impending flood and guides him to build an ark, which he later leads, again in the form of a fish, through the cataclysm. The parallel with biblical symbolism is evident. Vishnu, the preserver in Vedanta (along with Brahma and Shiva), shares traits with the future Christian Savior.
• In Buddhism, the fish represents the footprint of Buddha, the path that frees one from desire.

The number 7 is also highly symbolic, referencing the 7 principles of the Universe, the 7 plagues of Egypt, the 7 wonders of the Ancient World, the 7 branches of the Menorah, the seven virtues of Bushidō, the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the 7 heavens of Islam.
