Roman-script lyrics with English meaning. Read it in Devanagari.
या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता । या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना । या ब्रह्माच्युत-शंकर-प्रभृतिभिर्देवैः सदा पूजिता । सा मां पातु सरस्वती भगवती निःशेषजाड्यापहा ॥
ya kundendutusharaharadhavala ya shubhravastravrita | ya vinavaradandamanditakara ya shvetapadmasana | ya brahmachyuta-shankara-prabhritibhirdevaih sada pujita | sa man patu sarasvati bhagavati nihsheshajadyapaha ||
जो कुंद के फूल, चंद्रमा, हिम और मोतियों के हार के समान श्वेत हैं, जो श्वेत वस्त्र धारण किए हैं; जिनके हाथ श्रेष्ठ वीणा से सुशोभित हैं, जो श्वेत कमल पर विराजमान हैं; ब्रह्मा, विष्णु, शिव आदि देवता जिनकी सदा पूजा करते हैं: वे सारी जड़ता को दूर करने वाली भगवती सरस्वती मेरी रक्षा करें।
She who is white as the jasmine, the moon, snow and a pearl necklace, who is dressed in pure white; whose hands are adorned with the excellent veena, who is seated on a white lotus; who is always worshipped by Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and the other gods: may that goddess Saraswati, who removes every trace of dullness, protect me.
