മാണിക്യവീണാം ഉപലാളയന്തീം

മദാലസാം മഞ്ജുളവാഗ്വിലാസാം |

മഹേന്ദ്രനീലദ്യുതി കോമളാംഗീം

മാതംഗകന്യാം മനസാ സ്മരാമി ||

|പല്ലവി|

കവിജനനീ വാണീ കവേലവാസിനീ

കരതല വിപഞ്ചികാ കരപരിലാലിനീ

||അനുപല്ലവി||

കമലജകാമിനീ കാമ്രാംഗിമോഹിനീ

അമലകമലേ നൃതിപരിലസേ

വലമമന പൂജിതേ......ദേവി ....

|ചരണം-1|

പ്രകിരണതേജസ്സാലരുണനുമന്ധനായ്

കലയലമാലകൾ നുരയുന്നൊരാഴിയായ്

അലംഭാവമാട്ടിനീയടിയനു നേർവഴി

അഗണിതഗുണേയഭയവരദേ -

Summary :        This beautiful hymn is a soulful prayer dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, invoking her as the divine mother of arts, music, and eloquent speech. It paints a vivid picture of her celestial beauty, showing her cradling a ruby-studded lute and radiating a brilliant, sapphire-like glow. The song exalts her supreme spiritual light, which is so powerful that it completely outshines the sun and dispels the darkest ignorance of the worldly ocean. The devotee earnestly prays to the Goddess to banish all inner arrogance and inertia, asking her to guide them safely along the righteous path. Finally, it invites the divine Mother to ride her sacred swan into the waters of the devotee's mind, filling their consciousness with absolute wisdom, peace, and fearlessness.

Shlokam : I meditate in my innermost heart upon the divine daughter of Sage Matanga, Goddess Matangi. She is envisioned affectionately fondling a magnificent, ruby-studded lute while appearing beautifully relaxed and blissfully intoxicated with divine consciousness. Her speech is incredibly sweet, elegant, and eloquent, and her tender, lovely limbs radiate a brilliant, mesmerizing dark-blue glow that resembles the finest sapphire.

Pallavi : O Goddess Vani, you are the divine mother who gives birth to poets and you graciously dwell within the hearts of wise thinkers and artists. You are the supreme one who beautifully cradles, protects, and plays the celestial lute that is held so gracefully in the palms of your hands.

Anupallavi : You are the beloved consort of Lord Brahma, who was born from the sacred lotus, and your divine form is enchanting, desirable, and stunningly beautiful. O Divine Mother who resides upon a pure, spotless lotus, please dance brilliantly within my consciousness, for you are the supreme goddess worshiped by the pure-hearted and the righteous.

Charanam - 1 : Your radiating, spiritual light is so incredibly brilliant that even the morning sun appears completely dim and blinded by comparison. In this vast, turbulent ocean of worldly existence, which is constantly churning with the frothy waves of delusions and desires, I pray that you drive away my arrogance, inertia, and self-complacency, and guide this humble devotee onto the righteous path. O Goddess of countless virtues who grants the ultimate boon of absolute fearlessness, please look upon me and bless me with a fully bloomed, bright, and gracious heart.

Charanam - 2 : O Goddess who resides in the center of the palm as the source of all action, please ride gracefully upon your divine swan and flow directly into the waters of my mind and consciousness. You are resplendent and glowing with the deep, cooling, and soothing brilliance of intense moonlight, abiding high above the celestial Ganges. You fill the universe with the sweet, rhythmic, and musical gurgling sound of divine speech, wisdom, and flowing grace.
