You are supreme among all mothers.⁹⁷⁷
Therefore, all the three worlds make offerings to you.
Your appearance is beautiful, and all long to see you.
“Your body is adorned with various good qualities.
Your wide eyes are like the petals of the blue lotus.
You have the vast renown of the radiance of merit and wisdom.
To give an analogy, you are the same as a priceless jewel.
“On this day I speak this praise of you, sublime one,
And may you accomplish all the wishes in my mind.
You have true qualities and excellent auspiciousness.
You are completely pure, like a lotus.
“Your body has a beautiful color and all long to see it.
You have an inconceivable multitude of wonderful features.
You spread the light rays of stainless wisdom,
And your memory is supreme over all others.
“You are supreme like a lion among wild beasts.
You are ever adorned by eight arms
That hold, individually, an arrow, bow, sword,
Axe, mallet, hook, discus, and noose.⁹⁷⁸
“Beautiful goddess, you are like the full moon.
You emit a beautiful voice with unimpeded words.
Whatever being has a prayer in their minds,
You, sublime being, will fulfill their wishes.
“Śakra and many devas all make offerings to you.
They all praise you and go to you for refuge.
You give rise to inconceivable qualities,
So at all times I venerate you: svāhā.⁹⁷⁹
“If you wish to pray to the great goddess Sarasvatī,
Use these words of praise and eulogy
And recite them with internal purity, single-mindedly.⁹⁸⁰
Then all that you aspire for will be accomplished as you wish.”
The Bhagavat said to the brahmin, “It is excellent, excellent that you, in order to benefit and bring happiness to beings, have recited this praise to the goddess and prayed for her blessing so that immeasurable merit will be obtained.”⁹⁸¹
