प्र वो देवाय सरस्वत्यै चेतन्ती सुमतीनाम् भरध्वं गिरं बृहतीम्
यस्य व्रतानि न मिनन्ति देवा न मर्त्याः
स नः सुगं पन्थामभयं कृणोतु विश्वतः
आयुः प्राणं प्रजां पशुं कीर्तिं दधातु नः

Pra Vo Devaya Sarasvatyai Chetanti Sumatinam Bharadhvam Giram Brihatim
Yasya Vratani Na Minanti Deva Na Martyah

Translation:
Bring forth your lofty hymn of praise unto the radiant God Saraswati, awakener of noble and wise understanding,
Whose eternal cosmic laws neither Gods nor mortals can transgress;
May He make our path easy to travel and fearless on every side,
And bestow upon us longevity, vital breath, progeny, cattle, and noble renown.
