This Sarasvati river, with its nurturing flow, comes forth as our steadfast defense and impenetrable fortress. Like a chariot, the flood surges on, surpassing all other waters in majesty and might.
Pure in her course, from the mountains to the sea, Sarasvati alone listens. Reflecting on wealth and the great world of creatures, she poured for Nahuṣa her milk and richness.
She grows friendly among the women, a strong young bull among the Holy Ladies. She gives swift horses to our wealthy princes and decorates their bodies for victory in battle.
May this Sarasvati be pleased and listen at this sacrifice, auspicious Lady, When we with reverence, on our knees, beseech her close-knit for wealth, most kind to those she loves.
These offerings you have made with devotion; say this, Sarasvati, and accept our praise; And, under your dear protection, may we approach you, as a tree, for shelter.
For you, O Blessed Sarasvati, Vasiṣṭha has opened the doors of the sacred Order. May you grow bright and give strength to those who praise you. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
