Saraswati Dwadasanama Stotram PDF

सरस्वतीं नमस्यामि वीणापुस्तकधारिणीम्। हंसवाहसमायुक्तां विद्यादानकरीं मम॥

Saraswatim Namasyaami Veenaa-pustaka-dhaarineem Hamsa-vaaha-samaayuktaam Vidyaa-daana-kareem Mama

I bow to Goddess Saraswati, who holds the veena and the book, who is borne by the swan, the bestower of the gift of knowledge upon me.

प्रथमं भारती नाम द्वितीयं च सरस्वती। तृतीयं शारदा देवी चतुर्थं हंसवाहिनी॥

Prathamam Bhaaratee Naama Dviteeyam Cha Saraswatee Triteeyam Shaaradaa Devee Chaturtham Hamsa-vaahinee

The first name is Bharati, the second is Saraswati; the third is the Goddess Sharada, and the fourth is Hamsavahini (she who rides the swan).

पञ्चमं जगती ख्याता षष्ठं वागीश्वरी तथा। कौमारी सप्तमं प्रोक्ता अष्टमं ब्रह्मचारिणी॥

Panchamam Jagatee Khyaataa Shashtham Vaageeshwaree Tathaa Kaumaaree Saptamam Proktaa Ashtamam Brahmachaarinee

The fifth is renowned as Jagati (the all-pervading), and the sixth is Vagishwari (mistress of speech); the seventh is declared to be Kaumari, and the eighth is Brahmacharini.

नवमं बुद्धिदात्री च दशमं वरदायिनी। एकादशं क्षुद्रघण्टा द्वादशं भुवनेश्वरी॥

Navamam Buddhi-daatree Cha Dashamam Varadaayinee Ekaadasham Kshudra-ghantaa Dvaadasham Bhuvaneshwaree

The ninth is Buddhidatri (giver of intellect), the tenth is Varadayini (granter of boons); the eleventh is Kshudraghanta, and the twelfth is Bhuvaneshwari.

ब्राह्मी द्वादशनामानि त्रिसन्ध्यं यः पठेन्नरः। सर्वसिद्धिकरी तस्य प्रसन्ना परमेश्वरी। सा मे वसतु जिह्वाग्रे ब्रह्मरूपा सरस्वती॥

Braahmee Dvaadasha-naamaani Tri-sandhyam Yah Pathen-narah Sarva-siddhi-karee Tasya Prasannaa Parameshwaree Saa Me Vasatu Jihvaagre Brahma-roopaa Saraswatee

These are the twelve names of Brahmi (Saraswati). The person who recites them at the three junctions of the day (morning, noon and dusk) — to him the Supreme Goddess becomes gracious and grants all success. May that Saraswati, the very form of Brahman, ever dwell upon the tip of my tongue.
