सरस्वती स्तोत्र
Saraswati Stotram
A compact set of traditional verses invoking Saraswati, goddess of learning and speech.
या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता। या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना॥ या ब्रह्माच्युतशङ्करप्रभृतिभिर्देवैः सदा वन्दिता। सा मां पातु सरस्वती भगवती निःशेषजाड्यापहा॥
May radiant, white-robed, veena-bearing Saraswati, worshipped by the gods, protect me and remove ignorance.
सरस्वति नमस्तुभ्यं वरदे कामरूपिणि। विद्यारम्भं करिष्यामि सिद्धिर्भवतु मे सदा॥
Salutations to the giver of blessings; as I begin learning, may understanding and accomplishment remain with me.
पद्मपत्रविशालाक्षि पद्मकेसरवर्णिनि। नित्यं पद्मालये देवि सा मां पातु सरस्वती॥
May the lotus-eyed, lotus-hued Goddess who dwells in purity protect and guide me.
