May Goddess Saraswati protect me — she who is fair like the jasmine flower, the moon, and the snow, who wears pure white garments, whose hands are adorned with the Veena and the boon-giving staff, who sits on a white lotus, who is always adored by gods like Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, and who completely removes all lethargy and ignorance.
