2She with her might, like one who digs for lotus−stems, hath burst with her strong waves the ridges of th e hills. Let us invite with songs and holy hymns for help Sarasvati who slayeth the Paravatas.

3Thou castest down, Sarasvati, those who scorned the Gods, the brood of every Brsaya skilled in magic a rts. Thou hast discovered rivers for the tribes of men, and, rich in wealth! made poison flow away from them.

4May the divine Sarasvati, rich in her wealth, protect us well, Furthering all our thoughts with might

5Whoso, divine Sarasvati, invokes thee where the prize is set, Like Indra when he smites the foe.

6Aid us, divine Sarasvad, thou who art strong in wealth and power Like Pusan, give us opulence.

7Yea, this divine Sarasvati, terrible with her golden path, Foe−slayer, claims our eulogy.

8Whose limitless unbroken flood, swift−moving with a rapid rush, Comes onward with tempestuous roar.

9She hath spread us beyond all foes, beyond her Sisters, Holy One, As Surya spreadeth out the days.

10Yea, she most dear amid dear stream, Seven−sistered, graciously inclined, Sarasvati hath earned our praise.

11Guard us from hate Sarasvati, she who hath filled the realms of earth, And that wide tract, the firmament!

12Seven−sistered, sprung from threefold source, the Five Tribes' prosperer, she must be Invoked in every deed of might.

13Marked out by majesty among the Mighty Ones, in glory swifter than the other rapid Streams, Created vast for victory like a chariot, Sarasvati must be extolled by every sage.

14Guide us, Sarasvati, to glorious treasure: refuse us not thy milk, nor spurn us from thee. Gladly accept our friendship and obedience: let us not go from thee to distant countries.
