Saraswathi Ashtakam

Amala Viswa vandhya saa kamala kara malini,
Vimalabra nibha vovyath kamalaya saravathi. 1

Varna samasthnga roopaa, yaa swarna rathna vibhooshithaa,
Nirnaya, bharathi, svetha varna, vovyath Saraswathi. 2

Varadhabhaya rudaraksha vara pusthaka dharini,
Sarasa saa sarojaththa, sara vovyath Saraswathi. 3

Sundari sumukhi padma mandira madhraa cha
Saakunda bhasa, sada vovyath vandhithaa ya Saraswathi. 4

Rudhraksha lipitha Kumbha mudhradrutha karambhuja,
Bhadrartha dhayinisavyath bhadrabjakshi Saraswathi. 5

Raktha, kouseya rathnadyaa, vyaktha bhashana bhooshana,
Bhaktha hrud padma samstha, saa shaktha vovyath Saraswathi. 6

Chathurmukhasya Jayyaa yaa Chathur Veda swaroopini,
Chathur bhuja cha saa vyovyath chatur varga Saraswathi. 7

Sarva loka prapoojya ya parva chandra nibhananaa,
Sarva jihwagra samstha saa sada vovyath Saraswathi. 8

Saraswathyashtakam nithyam sukruthprathar bhajen nara,
Agnair vimuchyathe soyam pragnair ishtascha labhyathe. 9
