Om ! Om ! Adoration to Sarasvati! (Verse 1.) May the supporter of the universe bestow [on us] his compassion !-.. wlo, embracing his beloved and thrilled with delight by the close contact of his breast with her bosom, is sleeping on the lord of serpents, on one side bent low by the weight of the god's lofty body, while on the other he remains upright under the very light burden of the goddess of fortune!
