Meaning

May Goddess Saraswati completely remove our ignorance and protect us. She who is fair like the 'Kunda' flower, the moon, the snow and a necklace of white pearls, who is wearing pure white garments, whose hand is adorning the neck of an excellent Veena and who is seated on a white lotus, to whom Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara and other forms of God pay homage. (May she protect me) Oh Goddess of knowledge, remove the ignorance from my mind completely.
