Ya Kundendu TusharaBefore study, Vasant Panchami
या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता
या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना।
या ब्रह्माच्युतशङ्करप्रभृतिभिर्देवैः सदा वन्दिता
सा मां पातु सरस्वती भगवती निःशेषजाड्यापहा॥
Yā kundendutuṣārahāradhavalā yā śubhravastrāvṛtā
Yā vīṇāvaradaṇḍamaṇḍitakarā yā śvetapadmāsanā |
Yā brahmācyutaśaṅkaraprabhṛtibhirdevaiḥ sadā vanditā
Sā māṃ pātu sarasvatī bhagavatī niḥśeṣajāḍyāpahā ||
Meaning: May Goddess Saraswati protect me – white as jasmine, the moon and a garland of snow, dressed in white, her hands adorned with the veena, seated on a white lotus, ever worshipped by Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and the gods, who removes all dullness.
