1.Vibudha vandithe, budha janasrithe,
Janani sharade, bhavthu they krupaa
Saluted by scholars, depended upon by the wise,
Oh mother Sharada, please shower your grace
2.Mathivikasike, mathi vishodhike,
Mathi vararchithe, kuru krupaam Shive
She who broadens and purifies wisdom,
Oh Goddess who blesses with wisdom,
Oh Consort of Shiva, please show your mercy
3.Vimala bhodhike, nija sukhathmike,
Yadhi thu they krupaa, sa thu sukhee bhaveth.
Teacher of pure knowledge, One who gives true comfort,
If I get your blessings then I would be really happy.
4.Janani they padam, jada vipasakam,
Sphuradhu sarvadaa, sphut tharam hrudhi.
Mother, your feet promotes even in your foolish devotees,
The pure knowledge always and for ever.
5.Chidavambhyahe, janani mana idham
Athi sushobhanam, visathu thava padam
Oh mother keep in my mind, your auspicious feet,
And promote in me the divine pure knowledge
6.Thava sushobhanam, vimala roopakam,
Jagathi visthrutham, kuru dhayanvithe
Make your auspicious pure form shine,
Throughout the world, Oh merciful mother.
7.Thava krupanvithaa, jagathi naikasaa,
Thimira haraka, santhu budha janaa
Due to your mercy, the ignorant of the world,
Are cured of their blindness by wise people.
8.Mala harathmake, vimala jana pure,
Janani thwam sadaa, nivasa jnanadhe
Destroyer of bad thoughts, in this place of pure ones,
You mother should always stay and help us all.
9.Jayathu jayathu nithyam sarada veda mathaa,
Jayathu jayathu devi jnanadha mokshadhaa cha
Jayathu jayathu yaa sri sarva devairupaasya,
Jayathu jayathu nithya BHarathi chithswaroopa
Victory and victory daily to Sharada, the mother of Vedas,
Victory and victory to the goddess who grants wisdom and salvation,
Victory and victory to all those devotees of the Goddess,
Victory and victory to the Goddess with perennial divine form.
Srimath Paramahamsa parivrujacharya sadguru bhagwathaa,
Sridhara swami mana virachitham sri Saradha stotram sampoornam.
