In Praise Of Saraswati (Biiingual) Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Word,
Knowledge,
Goddess of Learning
Saraswati,
Speech-goddess She is Goddess of Script and Tongue.

She is Letter,
Alphabet,
Script,
Speech, Sound.

The Ordaining Deity of Learning,
Lighting with Light,
Light of Knowledge,
Dispelling Darkness, Ignorance.

Goddess of Fine Arts,
Goddess of Learning,
Homage paid to Goddess of Knowledge, Fact & Reasoning
With respect, worship and prayer,
My offering of fruits, flowers, incense sticks.

Shabda,
Jnan,
Vidya ki devi
Sarawati,
Vaak devi, vageshwari.

Wo akshara,
Varnamaala,
Lipi,
Dhvani, vaani.

Vidya ki addhishthatri devi,
Divya aalok she alokit karti,
Gyaan ka jalata prakash,
Agyaanta hatati, dura hoti.

Kala ki devi,
Vidya ki devi,
Gyaan-vigyaan ki devi ko samarpit
Puja, archana, vandana,
Hamara naiveya, puspa, dip, dhup, fal-fula bhara arghya.
