Sri Saraswathi Ashtakam - II – Lyrics and meanings



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||












My humble salutation to Goddess Sri Saraswathi, Oh! Amba, virtuous people who have sincere devotion and dedication at your lotus feet, would consider the highest of the opulence and honor of Lord Indhra as insignificant and extremely bitter like the fruit of Nimba, therefore it is needless to mention about other kinds luxuries on the Earth.  Oh! Matha, it is pointless to mention about the ignorant person who does not aware of any difference in food, fear and sleep due to the absence of your eternal grace.  Oh! Mother, You have personified as Vani/Saraswathi, Rama/Lakshmi, Girisutha/Parvathi, in order to shower various auspiciousness and boons to your fervent devotees, hence I am speechless to describe your splendor.   You have the proficiency of Parvathivallabha/Lord Shiva, capabilities of Devaguru/Bhrihaspathi to crush the pride of the enemies, poetic, scholastic skills and the usage of words etc…are a miniscule part of your compassion.  Oh! Jagath Savithri, even a person who has the disability to speak becomes a scholar due to your auspicious grace, and unintelligent person becomes super intelligent and a poorer person becomes the wealthiest.  Oh Varnnathmike, who has the luster of glacier, Lord Chandhra, Conch and Jasmine flower, Oh! Vishwavandhye, who has beautiful long eyes filled with compassion, kindly shower your eternal grace on us and fulfill all our desires.  Oh! Amba, I have been completely surrendered at your lotus feet for several years now, I am helpless, I shall earnestly pray to shower your eternal grace filled with empathy, and make us satisfied.    Oh! Amba, I have not find happiness in anything other than your merciful glance on us, I am completely exhausted with the troubles of Samsara, I am helpless, therefore I am deserved to be protected like a child, I shall request you to shower your auspicious and merciful glance on us and make us relieved from all the grief and sorrows. 


Whoever reads or listens to the glorious verses would be honored by intellectuals and scholarly persons and attain all the Purushartha/Dharma/Artha/Kama and Moksha.
