O Sarasvatī, I bow to You, the bestower of boons, who can assume any form. I begin my studies; may I always attain success.

O Goddess with lotus-petal eyes and the color of lotus filaments, dwelling eternally in the lotus, may that Sarasvatī protect me.

Sarasvatī, the abode of truth, whose form is like the moon, holding crystal rosary, lotus, book, and parrot in her hands.

The Goddess with four arms and a face like the moon, beloved of all seekers and fond of playing the vīṇā.

Bhāratī (Sarasvatī), the future-giving Goddess, the deity of all languages, meditated upon in noble hearts, the radiant consort of Brahmā.

Four-armed, moon-colored, beloved of four-faced Brahmā, I worship that Goddess of speech who grants the wishes of devotees.

With teeth like jasmine flowers and a gentle smiling face, worshipped by Gandharvas, beloved of the lotus seat (Brahmā).

She who is white like jasmine, moon, snow, and pearl, clad in white garments, whose hands hold the vīṇā and who sits on a white lotus.

Who is always worshipped by Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva, and other gods, may that divine Sarasvatī protect me and remove all ignorance.

Grant me intelligence, fame, poetic skill, and remove my ignorance, O Devi, protect me who take refuge in You.
