Meaning :

 

May Sarasvati, the wife of Brahma and the repository of all the arts,

bless us with prosperity and peace. She is the embodiment of the hymns

Bala and Abala. She is also known by the name of Bhaarathi. She is the

very form of all the letters in the alphabet. She removes all evil and

is speech personified. Her tresses are jet black like a group of black

bees and she holds a Veena in her hand. She is white like the moon in

springtime, her face is like the moon. She resides in Kashmir, where

she is known as Sarada. She carries is her hands, the Pasha (rope),

Ankusha (elephant goad) and a book. Two of her hands are in the pose

of Abhaya and Vara (giving the boons of fearlessness and well being).

Her lotus like feet are worshipped by all the Gods. She is effulgent,

sits on a white lotus and has beautiful teeth. She causes joy in the

hearts of Siva and Guruguha. She is the daughter-in-law of Vishnu and

she symbolises true bliss.
