या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना। या ब्रह्माच्युतशङ्करप्रभृतिभिर्देवैः सदा वन्दिता सा मां पातु सरस्वती भगवती निःशेषजाड्यापहा॥

Ya kundendu-tushara-hara-dhavala ya shubhra-vastravrita, Ya veena-vara-danda-mandita-kara ya shveta-padmasana, Ya Brahmachyuta-Shankara-prabhritibhir devaih sada vandita, Sa mam patu Saraswati Bhagavati nihshesha-jadyapaha.

She who is white as jasmine, the moon, snow and a pearl necklace, who is dressed in white, whose hands are adorned with the veena, who sits on a white lotus, who is always worshipped by Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and the other gods: may that Goddess Saraswati, who removes all dullness, protect me.

शुक्लां ब्रह्मविचारसारपरमामाद्यां जगद्व्यापिनीं वीणापुस्तकधारिणीमभयदां जाड्यान्धकारापहाम्। हस्ते स्फटिकमालिकां विदधतीं पद्मासने संस्थितां वन्दे तां परमेश्वरीं भगवतीं बुद्धिप्रदां शारदाम्॥

Shuklam Brahma-vichara-sara-paramam-adyam jagad-vyapinim, Veena-pustaka-dharinim-abhayadam jadyandhakarapaham, Haste sphatika-malikam vidadhatim padmasane samsthitam, Vande tam Parameshvarim Bhagavatim buddhi-pradam Sharadam.

I worship the supreme Goddess Sharada, the giver of wisdom: radiant white, the highest essence of the contemplation of Brahman, the primal one who pervades the world, holding the veena and the book, granting fearlessness and dispelling the darkness of ignorance, holding a crystal rosary and seated on a lotus.
