O Goddess Saraswathi; salutations to you, the giver of boons, the one who fulfills
desires. I shall begin my studies. May there always be accomplishment for me.

Goddess Saraswati Is All White Like The Kunda Blossom, The Moon, Snow, And
Pearl. She Is Dressed In Pure White. While Two Of Her Hands Play The Veena,
The Two Other Hands Are Poised To Give Boons, And Award Punishments As
Needed. She Is Seated On A White Lotus. She Is Ever Worshipped By All The
Celestials Including Brahma, Vishnu And Maheshwara. May This Saraswati
Remove My Obstacles And Protect Me.

Maatanga-kanyaam Manasaa-smaraami
She who plays a Veena of emerald
She who is tired with activity
She who can talk honeyed words,
She who is beautiful,
She who is the daughter of Matanga
She who is pretty beyond compare,
I meditate to Thee.
