English Translation

Pallavi
Oh Goddess of learning,
Who is a young woman seated on a lotus,
Oh Saraswathi, please shower good things.

Anupallavi

Oh Goddess who is of the form of the meaning of Balabala Mantras,
Oh Bharathi, Oh Goddess with the form of the mother,
Oh Goddess who destroys malice, Oh Go Goddess of voice and words,
Oh Goddess whose braid appears as if covered by bees.

Charanam

Oh Goddess who is shining like the autumn moon,
Oh Goddess who does good, Oh Goddess with moon like face,
Oh Goddess who lives in Kashmir, who is beyond every thing,
Oh Sharada who holds divine goad,
Who shows sign of protection and boon by her hands
And holds book and noose in her other hands,
Oh Goddess whose feet is worshipped by devas,
Oh shining one who sits on a white lotus,
Oh Goddess who entertains the heart of Guru Guha,
Oh Goddess who is the daughter in law of Vishnu
Oh Goddess who is unstained.
