O Devī named Sarasvatī! Move, go towards exceedingly great favor: the word 'svati' means 'exceedingly'. Likewise, take your stand, abide in the ocean of my mind: the mind itself is an ocean (sarasvat), in that ocean of the mind. The 'kṣetra' is the body, which is itself the holy place known as Kurukṣetra; because of your eternal dwelling there, like the river Sarasvatī, you are the Sarasvatī thereof—this is an address to her. The meaning is that she abides in the body in the form of eternally arisen speech. (50)
