Saraswati Bhujanga Prayata Stotram (सरस्वती भुजङ्ग प्रयत स्तोत्रं)

I meditate on her who sits on the lotus,
Who is the goddess of the worlds,
Through whose blessings even idiots,
Become capable of words dripping with nectar. 1

I sing about you,who is a goddess of all,
And an ocean of mercy, who has the greatness,
Of the pure luster of the shining sun,
Who wears the crescent on her hair,
And who has forehead like the cool moon’s crescent. 2

I pray that Goddess whose eyelids defeat,
The bow of the great God of love,
Whose long eyes defeat the beauty of blue lotus,
Whose nose is like inner bud of the lotus flower of the spring,
And whose cheeks are white as pearls and shine like a mirror. 3

I pray that Goddess whose lips are like pearls,
Who showers her smile which is similar to moon light,
Whose teeth has the luster of jasmine buds,
And whose necks are prettier than conch. 4

I pray that Goddess who shows the sign of boon and blessing,
By her two hands, Carries in her two hands. which are similar to the lotus
A book and a chain of prayer beads,
Who has thousand eyes and has two breasts,
Which can be compared to the head of the divine elephant, Iravatha. 5

I pray the splendour of the navel of the great Goddess,
Whose hair pattern beats the shine of the serpent,
Whose prettiness of the shining stomach with its triple hair pattern,
Is much more prettier than the beautiful leaf of a banyan tree, 6

I sing about that divine form of the Goddess,
Whose hips are covered by a white silk,
Whose pretty and well formed knees,
Mark victory over the love treasures of the love God,
And who shines with her thighs which are similar to banana pseudo stem. 7

I salute that divine form of the goddess,
Who has calves in the shape of a quiver,
Whose upper feet resembles the shell of a tortoise,
And whose feet blessed the Asoka tree by a kick. 8

Salutations great goddess, oh goddess who is colured,
Salutations to great goddess, who is being worshipped by devas,
Salutations to the Goddess who lives in the cavity of lotus flower,
Bless me, bless me with all the known knowledge. 9

Salutations to you who lives in the lotus face of Brahma,
Salutations to you who is worshipped by Vishnu with lotus eye,
Salutations to you who is the colour of fully opened lotus,
Salutations to you who has ever pretty lotus like eyes. 10

I salute you who has immeasurable greatness and has a parrot,
Who has a beak of the colour of flower of Palasa tree,
Who has feathers of the colour of the blue lotus flower,
And who has three colours on his neck. 11

I daily sing about you, Oh Goddess Saraswathi,
Who is surrounded by her pretty friends
In the Kadamba forest and enjoys enchanting joy.
And shines playing Veena which gives out sweet music. 12

Please make my mind clean and pure, Oh Goddess,
Who likes anointing with nectar filled in a golden pot,
Who likes her devotees, who is fit to be worshipped,
And who is being worshipped by yogis like Sananda. 13

My salutations to you, who is the Goddess for all,
Who is like a Sun to the darkness of ignorance,
Who is the Shivaa, interested in giving good knowledge,
And who is the blessed one interested in protecting the oppressed. 14

I salute the lotus like feet of the great goddess,
Who is pure, without stains and ever clean,
Who is the protector, who blesses and has no end,
And pray her to always dance on the tip of my toungue. 15

Show your kindness, show your kindness, oh mother goddess,
Who has limitless pity on the oppressed and downtrodden,
For my only support in this world is your two lotus like feet,
And of personification of joy, I do not know any one greater. 16

He who gets up early morning and reads with devotion,
This prayer written with movement like a snake,
Would in a period prior to completion of three months,
Become the only recipient to the blessing of Goddess Saraswathi. 17
