Kereedanthi   Divya roopaa   kara kamala dharaa bharathi   suprasanna.

2.She travels   on the sky   riding  on a white  swan,
With beaded chain  in  right hand ,
And  shines in divine golden  silk cloth  on the left hands,
As well   holding   the book   and goes  towards wisdom.
She also plays veena and  using the  beads   also  chants  sacientific manthras,
And she playa  in a divine form  holding   a lotus flower in her hand,
And let   that  Goddess  Saraswathi be pleased with me.

Who holds in her hand  a book and Veena, who grants protection  to her devotees, Who removes the   darkness of ignorance,
Who holds the garland of crystal beads and who sits in the lotus pose.

2..Ya kundendu thushara hara davalaa, Ya shubhra vasthravruthaa,
Yaa veena vara danda manditha karaa,  Ya swetha padmasana,

Saa maam pathu sarswathi, bhagawthi, Nissesha jadyapaha.
