|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||









I shall meditate upon Goddess Sri Saraswathi who is the consort of Lord Bhrama/Sarojasana , even the unintelligent people becomes wise and intellectual with the merciful grace of Goddess Sri Saraswathi, she is Lokaikanatha/who is the safe haven for the living beings.  I shall meditate upon Goddess Sri Saraswathi who is the ocean of compassion, she has supreme brilliance of Lord Surya, she is Samastheshwari and unblemished, she is decked in crescent moon on her beautiful plait of hair locks; her forehead has the luster of autumn moon.  I shall meditate upon Goddess Sri Saraswathi who has attractive eyebrows which is superior to the bow of Lord Kamadeva, her long beautiful eyes has the luster of black lilies, her attractive nose has the resemblance to the bud of lotus flower in autumn season, her cheeks has the luster of white pearls.   I shall meditate upon Goddess Sri Saraswathi, who has beautiful lips which has the resemblance to coral, her smile has the appearance of luster of moon and the line of teeth has the luster of fresh alluring jasmine flowers, her beautiful neck has the appearance of conch.  I shall meditate upon Goddess Sri Saraswathi who carries sacred scriptures and prayer beads, both the hands are in Varadha Abhayahastha posture/which assures abundance of boons and protection to her devotees, her high raised bosom has the resemblance to the protuberance in the  forehead of Airavatha that causes slight bend on her body towards frontward.  I shall meditate upon Goddess Sri Saraswathi who has beautiful lines of hair that spreads supreme brilliance on her stomach, she is attired in majestic white garments, she has attractive thin waist covered in white silk clothes, beautiful knees and thighs I shall meditate upon the divine form of Goddess Sri Saraswathi. She has beautiful long legs resembles to the hoard of arrows, her toe nails has the luster of moon,  her lotus feet rests on the Kalpavruksha and showers perpetual blessings on her devotees.   I shall prostrate before Mahadevi who is Varnnaroopa, I shall prostrate before Mahadevi who is Girvanavandhya/eulogized by the deities, I shall prostrate before MahapadmakantharaVasa/who dwells in the Mahapadma, I shall earnestly pray to provide us eternal wisdom and knowledge.  I shall prostrate before Goddess Sri Saraswathi who dwells on the lotus like face of lotus born Lord Bhrama, I shall prostrate before Goddess Sri Saraswathi who is worshiped by Lord Vishnu who has the eyes resembles to lotus flower, I shall prostrate before Goddess Sri Saraswathi who has the supreme brilliance of lotus flower and she has the eyes resembles to lotus petals.  I shall prostrate before Goddess Sri Saraswathi who is beyond description, she  carries  beautiful parrot on her hand that  has red beak  resembles to Palashapushpam, it has attractive wings resembles to Neelothpala, it has tri colors on neck.  I shall meditate upon Goddess Sri Saraswathi who dwells in the Kadambavanam, she is surrounded by various beautiful young maidens, and she is merrily playing melodious music on Veena.  Oh! Jaganmatha, who is fond of nectar filled in the golden vessel, she is compassionate to her fervent devotees, she is worshiped by Sanandhadhi Yogis and Yoginis, I shall earnestly request you to purify our minds.  I shall meditate upon Goddess Sri Saraswathi, Oh! Samasthambike, who destroys the darkness of ignorance, she imparts superior wisdom and knowledge to her fervent devotees, she protects the powerless and distressed people, she is the provider of all the auspiciousness, she is supreme Goddess and Mother of all the living beings in the Universe.   I shall prostrate before the lotus feet of  Goddess Sri Saraswathi, Oh! Ambike, who is unblemished and sinless, she is the safe haven for the distressed people, she is the provider of boons to her devotees, she is the essence of Veda and she is eternal I shall request your perpetual presence on my tongue.  Oh! Ambike, who is too compassionate to the distressed people, kindly blesses with your eternal presence.  Your lotus feet our safest haven, Oh! Anandhamoorthe, I am not aware of any other shelter place for us.Whoever learns or recites the above glorious verses of Sri Saraswathi Bhujanga sthothram with extreme happiness and devotion in the early hours of dawn, would attain perpetual blessings of Goddess Sri Saraswathi.
