उपास्महे सरस्वतीं वाग्देवी ऋतस्य पथिभिर्धिया
तन्नो देवा अनुमदन्तु यज्ञं सुवीर्यम्
Upasmahe Sarasvatim Vagdevi Ritasya Pathibhirdhiya
Tanno Deva Anumadantu Yajnam Suviryam
With illumined thought along the paths of Cosmic Order we worship Saraswati, divine sovereign of articulate speech;
May the Gods rejoice in our sacrifice and grant us heroic spiritual strength.
