या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता।
या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना॥
या ब्रह्माच्युतशङ्करप्रभृतिभिर्देवैः सदा वन्दिता।
सा मां पातु सरस्वती भगवती निःशेषजाड्यापहा॥

सरस्वती वंदना का हिन्दी में अर्थ

जो कुंद (फूल), चंद्रमा और बर्फ के हार के समान धवल हैं। जो सफेद वस्त्रों में सजी हुई हैं। जिनके हाथों में वीणा और वरदान देने वाली मुद्रा है। जो सफेद कमल पर विराजमान हैं। जिनकी ब्रह्मा, विष्णु, शंकर आदि देवता भी सदा वंदना करते हैं। ऐसी भगवती सरस्वती मुझे जड़ता और अज्ञानता से मुक्त करके मेरी रक्षा करें।
