Brahma swaroopa parama jyothi swaroopaa sanathani,
Sarva vidhyathi devya thasyai vanya namo nama. 1
Salutations and Salutations to Vani,
Who is the form of Lord Brahma,
Who is always, the form of light,
And who is the goddess of all learning.
Visarga bindhu mathrasu yadha thishtana meva cha,
Thathathishta thriya devi thasyai nithyai namo nama. 2
Salutations and salutations to that Goddess,
Who lives in colon, full stops and comma*,
And who is the goddess controlling them all.
*She is the goddess of the language
Vyakhya swaroopa sa devi vyakhya thishta roopini,
Yayavinaprasangyavansaskyam karthum sakyathe. 3
She is the personification of description,
And is the goddess of description,
And without her divine grace,
Even very learned will not be able to do anything.
Kala sankhya swaroopaya thasmai devyair namo nama,
Brahma sidhantha roopaya thasmai deyair namo nama. 4
Salutations and salutations to that Goddess,
Who is of the form of time and numbers,
Salutations and salutations to that Goddess,
Who is personification of the science of Brahmam.
Smrithi sakthi Gnana shakthi budhi sakthi swaroopini,
Prathibha kalpana shakthyascha thasmai namo nama. 5
Salutations and salutations to that Goddess,
Who is the form of divine knowledge, thirst for knowledge,
Power of knowledge, intelligence, strength,
Exuberance of intelligence and capability of imagination.
Krupama kuru jagan matha mamevam hatha thejasam,
Gnanam dehi, smrutheem vidhyam shakthim sishya prabodhineem. 6
Oh mother of the universe, to me who has,
Lost all my knowledge due to order of the teacher,
Be merciful and grant me wisdom, knowledge of Vedas,
Other knowledge and power to teach other students.
Yagnavalkya krutham Vani stotram Ethathuyya padeth,
Sakaveendro Maha VagmiBrahaspathi samo bhaveth,
Sa panditha medhavisukhvindhropa veda druvam. 7
He who reads this praise of Vani, written,
By Yagnavalkya at least once would become,
Great orator, as intelligent as Brahaspathi,
Greatly learned and a great genius.
It is for sure that he would live a happy life,
As long as the Vedas exist.
