सरस्वति नमस्तुभ्यं वरदे कामरूपिणि ।
विद्यारम्भं करिष्यामि सिद्धिर्भवतु मे सदा ।।

sarasvati namastubhyaṃ varade kāmarūpiṇi
vidyārambhaṃ kariṣyāmi siddhirbhavatu me sadā

Praise to you, Sarasvatī, who grants wishes and takes shape at will.
As I begin my studies, may my goals always be [accomplished].
