Devi Sharada (Saraswati)
शुक्लां ब्रह्मविचारसारपरमामाद्यां जगद्व्यापिनीं

Shuklaam Brahma-Vicaara-Saara-Paramaam-Aadyaam Jagad-Vyaapiniim

Meaning:
1: (I meditate on Devi Sharada) Who is Pure White in Colour, and whose deepest Essence can only be fathomed by enquiring into the nature of Brahman (Absolute Consciousness); Who is Supreme and Primeval, and Her Essence is spread across the whole Universe (as Consciousness),
2: Who is holding the Veena (symbolising the essence of Music) and Book (symbolising the essence of Knowledge), and displaying the gesture of Fearlessness (arising out of Knowledge); the Knowledge which removes the darkness of Ignorance from our Minds,
3: Who is holding a Garland of Crystal beeds in Her Hand (shining with Purity), and Who is abiding on the Seat of Lotus (blooming like an awakened Consciousness),
4: I Extol and Worship Her, Who is the Supreme Goddess Who awakens our Intelligence; I Worship Devi Sharada.
