Đaji Hind. OM! Salutations to Saraswati. Who is pure white like the jasmine, with the coolness of the moon, the brightness of the snow, and a sheen like the garland of pearls; Who is covered with pure white garments, whose hands are adorned with the veena (a stringed musical instrument) and the boon-giving staff; And who is seated on a pure white lotus, who is always adored by Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, and the other deities, oh, goddess Saraswati, please protect me and dispel all my ignorance.
