Salutations to you, O Goddess Sharada, dweller in the abode of Kashmir. I pray to you daily — please grant me the gift of knowledge.

To her who is faith, retention and intelligence, the Goddess of speech, beloved of Brahma, who resides on the tip of the devotee's tongue and bestows the virtue of inner calm and the rest — salutations.

I bow to her whose tresses are adorned with the crescent moon, to Bhavani, who is a river of nectar that quenches the burning sorrows of worldly existence.

Yayaa Vinaa Jagat-sarvam Shashvaj-jeevan-mritam Bhavet Jnaanaadhi-devee Yaa Tasyai Saraswatyai Namo Namah (6)

Without whom this entire world would forever be as the living-dead — to her, the presiding deity of knowledge, to that Saraswati, salutations again and again.

यया विना जगत्सर्वं मूकमुन्मत्तवत्सदा। या देवी वागधिष्ठात्री तस्यै वाण्यै नमो नमः॥७॥

Without whom this entire world would always be as if mute and deranged — to that Goddess who presides over speech, to that Vani, salutations again and again.
