Ya Kundendu | Saraswati Sloka

Ya Kundendu Tushara Haara Dhavala - A beautiful prayer to the Divine Mother Saraswati for bestowing so much of her grace and love! My first post of 2018 :) On the occasion of Basant Panchami, an offering to the Goddess who is very very special to me! I have based this on Raag Kedar. या कुन्देन्दु तुषारहार धवला या शुभ्र वस्त्रावृता | या वीणा वरदण्ड मन्डित करा या श्वेत पद्मासना | या ब्रह्माच्युत शंकर प्रभृतिभिर्देवैः सदा वन्दिता | सा मां पातु सरस्वती भगवती निःशेष जाड्यापहा || yA kundEndu tushArahAra DHavalA yA shuBHra vastAvritA ya veeNA varadanDa maNDita karA yA shwEta padmAsanA yA brahmAchyuta shankara praBHRitibhir dEvai sadA vanditA sA mAm pAtu saraswatI bhagavatI nihshEsha jAdyapahA She (या) who is as dazzlingly white or fair (धवल) as a jasmine flower (कुन्द), the moon (इंदु) or a garland (हार ) of snow flakes (तुषार), She who wears white (शुभ्र) clothes (वस्त्र ), She whose hands (कर) are adorned (मण्डित) by Veena and a boon-giving (वर) staff (दण्ड), She whose seat (आसन) is a white lotus (श्वेत पद्म), She to whom Brahma, Achyuta (name for Krishna, form of Vishnu), Maheshwara (name of Shiva) always (सदा) worship/adore (वन्दित) from the beginning (प्रभृति), That (सा) Saraswati please protect (पातु) me (मां) and remove (अपह ) my endless (निःशेष) ignorance/apathy (जाड्य ).
