Sarasvatī, Bhagavatī, is of fair complexion like the necklace which is as white as the jasmine, moon and snow, who is dressed in white clothes, whose hands adorn the divine vīņā, who is seated on a white lotus, who is always worshipped by Gods like Brahmā, Vişnu, Śankara. May she, who removes the darkness of ignorance, protect me!
