Translation:
Radiant white, supreme essence of inquiry into Brahman, primeval and pervading the universe,
Holding the lute and sacred book, granting fearlessness and dispelling the darkness of ignorance,
Bearing a crystal rosary in Her hand and seated upon a lotus throne,
I bow to that Supreme Goddess Sharada who bestows clear intellect and wisdom.
