Hail, O Sarasvatī! Thou art the one whose waters do purify all things! Thy touch is soft; thy power is immense. Where thou dost flow, the land becomes green; where thy waters touch, all impurities are washed away.

The mortal woman who calleth upon thee shall be blessed with fertility and strength. The mortal man who offereth to thee shall prosper in all his endeavors. The child born upon thy banks shall grow healthy and strong.

Thou art the river that knoweth the secrets of all things. Thy waters reflect the sky; they carry the rain clouds to distant lands; they nourish the roots of the tallest trees. Thou art ancient, yet eternally young. Thou hast flowed since the beginning of time, and thou shalt flow until the end of all things.

We call upon thee, O sacred river! We ask thy blessing! Make our fields fertile! Make our women fruitful! Make our people prosperous! And bless us with thy pure and holy water, that we may drink of thee and be forever transformed by thy power!
