Asita Giri Samam Syat — Complete Lyrics
असितगिरिसमं स्यात्
Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation
असितगिरिसमं स्यात् कज्जलं सिन्धुपात्रे
सुरतरुवरशाखा लेखनी पत्रमुर्वी ।
लिखति यदि गृहीत्वा शारदा सर्वकालं
तदपि तव गुणानामीश पारं न याति ॥
asitagirisamaṃ syāt kajjalaṃ sindhupātre
surataruvaraśākhā lekhanī patramurvī |
likhati yadi gṛhītvā śāradā sarvakālaṃ
tadapi tava guṇānāmīśa pāraṃ na yāti ||
Were the ink as vast as the dark mountain, the ocean the inkpot, a branch of the celestial wish-tree the pen, and the whole earth the writing sheet — and were Goddess Sharada (Saraswati) herself to write with them for all eternity — even then, O Lord, the end of your glories would never be reached.
