सा मां पातु सरस्वती भगवती निःशेषजाड्यापहा

What it means
She who is white as jasmine, the moon and snow, robed in white, whose hands hold the vina and the boon, seated on a white lotus, ever worshipped by Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and all the gods — may that goddess Saraswati protect me and remove every trace of dullness.
