ॐ ऐं सरस्वत्यै नमः॥

Om Aim Saraswatyai Namah.

Om, with the seed syllable Aim, I bow to Saraswati.

सरस्वति नमस्तुभ्यं वरदे कामरूपिणि। विद्यारम्भं करिष्यामि सिद्धिर्भवतु मे सदा॥

Saraswati namastubhyam varade kama-roopini, Vidyarambham karishyami siddhir bhavatu me sada.

O Saraswati, giver of boons, who takes any form at will: I bow to You. I am beginning my studies; may I always succeed.

ॐ वाग्देव्यै च विद्महे विरिञ्चिपत्न्यै च धीमहि। तन्नो वाणी प्रचोदयात्॥

Om Vagdevyai cha vidmahe, Virinchi-patnyai cha dheemahi, Tanno Vani prachodayat.

We know the goddess of speech and meditate on the consort of Brahma. May Vani, the Word, inspire us.
