ശ്രീ വാഗ്ദേവീ സ്തവഃ

She who grants power in debate to those who constantly bow to Her in noble assemblies, enabling them to quickly and easily give excellent solutions even to difficult questions. She who is constantly worshipped for various fruits by the foremost of gods like Brahma. May that Goddess of Speech (Vagdevi), residing on the Sringa mountain (Sringeri), swiftly grant my desires.

Her radiant lotus hands hold the gesture of explanation (vyakhya mudra), a rosary, a pot, and well-written scriptures. Out of Her tender heart, She mercifully and quickly grants even to the mute a sharp intellect in poetry, rhetoric, and all scriptures. May that ocean of compassion, Vagdevi, residing on the Sringa mountain, swiftly grant my desires.

She who is like a series of suns dispelling the darkness of dullness, whose body conquers the pride of the moon, who is constantly praised by the heads of the Agamas and groups of great sages bowed down in devotion. She who is the boundless ocean of compassion, and who is saluted by Parvati (daughter of the mountain) and Lakshmi (daughter of the ocean). May that Vagdevi, residing on the Sringa mountain, swiftly grant my desires.

Thus ends the Sri Vagdevi Stava composed by Sri Sacchidananda Shivabhinava Narasimha Bharati Swamiji.
