day 9 saraswathi puja 2024 offering by Smt. Srilatha Balaji
Jay jaya he bhagavati sura bhārati
tava caraṇau praṇamāmaham
Victory! Victory to the Goddess of learning, music and the arts! We bow at Your feet.
nāda bramha mayi jaya vāgīṣvari ṣaraṇam te pashyāmaḥ
Goddess of speech, permeated with Nada Brahma (Aum, the Sound of God)
tvamasi ṣaraṇya tribhuvana dhanya
sura muni vandita caraṇa
navarasa madhura kavita mukhara
smita ruci rucira bharaṇa
You protect the three worlds, all seek shelter in You. You are worshiped by gods and sages alike. You are sweetened by the honey of the nine rasa (nine emotions of drama and music). Your face and form manifest beauty and delight.
āṣīnābhava mānasa hanse
kunda tuhina ṣaṣi dhavale
hara jaḍatām kuru bodhi vikāṣam
ṣtita pankaja tanu vimale
You ride the beautiful Swan from the holy Lake Manasarovar. You are fair as the moon, pure white as the jasmine blossom. Overcome all of our obstacles! Expand our wisdom like an opening lotus bud.
