Meaning: (Courtesy: www.karnatik.com)

O Sri Saraswati, Supreme Goddess (“para-dEvatE”), I pray (“namOstutE varadE”) to you. You are adored (“vinutE”) by Lord Vishnu (“Sripati”), Lord Siva (“Gowripati”) and Lord Shanmukha (“guruguha”) and are the consort (“yuvatE”) of Lord Brahma (“vidhi-”).

You are the remover (“vivarjita”) of three (“traya”) longing desires (“vAsanA”)  - to acquire land, wealth and women. You  are  the form (“mUrttE”)  worshipped (“bhAvita”) by demigods and sages (“varamuni”). You are the non-stop (“nirjara”) bestower of boons (“vara vitaraNa”) to all (“-dyakhila”) the gods(“vAsavA-”) and people including Lord Vishnu. You are of great fame (“bahu-kIrttE”) and repute.

Your lotus-like (“AmburuhE”) face (“mukha-”) always wears a beautiful smile (“dhara-hAsa”). Your feet (“caraNa-”) are made from the beautiful (“adbhuta”) lotus flower (“AmburuhE”). You remove fear (“bhItya-ApahE”) of the cycle of birth and death (“samsAra”) and hold the secret (“guhE”) of all (“sakala”) syllables (“-AkSara”) in hymns (“mantra-”).
