Hail Thee, O Saraswathi

Sunday

Due to whose grace poets can see the whole Universe as if it were a gooseberry in the palm of their hands – may She, Goddess Saraswathi, be victorious for ever.

करबदरसदृशमखिलं भुवनतलं यत्प्रसादतः कवयः |
पश्यन्ति सूक्ष्ममतयः सा जयति सरस्वती देवी ||

karabadharasadhrshamakhilam bhuvanathalam yathprasAdhathaha kavayaha |
pashyanthi sUkSHmamathayaha sA jayathi saraswathI dEvI ||

[Invocatory verse of Subandhu's prose work, Vasavadatta]
