Pallavi
I salute
Goddess SArada who is very learned,
Who gives wisdom
and who blesses.
Anupallavi
Shudha Sathwa svaroopineem, SWacha hrudaya nivasinim ,
swaprakasa roopineem
Anupallavi
She who exists as
purity , She who lives in pure hearts ,
And she who is
self lustrous
Charanam
Parathpara vidhya bhooshitham ,
Suravara
Sujana SEvitham,
Sulabham, suswara vidhya
niratham.
Charanam
She who is decorated with the greatest knowledge ,
Who is served by great devas and good people ,
Who can be easily attained,
And who is engaged
in Knowledge pronounced
well.
The last line I think sounds more apt with 'vidya' replaced with 'vadya', as Goddess Sharada is seen with the Veena on her lap. This is how Vid.Maharajapuram Santhanam and others have sung this too.
