Glory, glory, all glory to you, O Mother Sarasvati ; you are
renowned throughout the three spheres as the treasure house of all great
noble virtues. Let all sing to the glory of yourname !
|
|
O infinitely radiant Goddess, you are beautiful and bright as
the moon and are seated in lotus posture ; you are lustrous in appearance
and source of all blessings ; your vehicle, the auspicious swan, looks
elegant .
|
|
|
In your left hand, O Mother Sarasvati, is the lute and in the
right a wreath ; on your head lies a splendid coronet of gems and around
your neck a string of pearls .
|
O Goddess, whosoever sought refuge in you was released
from the cycle of birth and death. By perverting the mind of Keikeyi�s
dull-witted, handmaid, Manthara, you became
instrumental in the destruction of Ravana.
|
|
|
O bestower of learning and skill, illumine the world with light
of knowledge and dispel the darkness of ignorance and infatuation .
|
|
O Mother, pray accept my gift of incense, light, both green
and dry fruits, endowing the world with eyes of knowledge ferry it across
the ocean of this phenomenal world.
|
|
|
Whosoever sings this hymn to Mother Saraswati, becomes a recipient
of knowledge and devotion, both of which are beneficial and yield great
happiness .
