In His Dharma

If that can be done

One will accomplish the miraculous wisdom Samadhi

And the supreme Dharani

The golden mouth of the Tathagata

Speaks of the Dharma

Human and devas

The sign of Buddha’s tongue,

Which manifests in a rare way

One should sincerely keep in mind

The miraculous voice from that tongue

Without having any doubt

Since the Tathagata makes great vows

If one can cultivate virtues

According to that method

One will achieve great results

But do not doubt

Take four clean pots (vases)

And fill them with good food

Together with incense and flowers

Make offering at any time one wishes

To offer to the Tathagata

And the Great Eloquence Heavenly Goddess

In front of the picture

Of the Great Eloquence Heavenly Goddess

Recite the above mantra for 21 days

If one has not seen

The Great Eloquence Heavenly Goddess

One should stay focused

All such distinctive appearances (việc đặc thù)

Surpasses the world

Accepting all those who trust and believe

Either in a mountain cave

In deep and dangerous places

Or in a deep tunnel (hole)

Or the side of a river

Or at an ancient tree

Or in the bushes

Heavenly goddess often abides in these places

Suppose those dwelling in these wild jungles, or on mountains

Often make offering to the Heavenly goddess

Using the hairs of peacocks

To make flags

Those people are often protected and sustained

By Heavenly goddess

Lions, tigers or leopards

Often surround

Cows, goats, chickens, birds

Shake the great tambourine

The sound made from that instrument

Is heard by those dwelling

On the Tan da mountain

One should make offering

To the Heavenly goddess

The most free among the devas

Creating seeds

Together with soil

When the heavenly goddesses assemble

Sarasvati correspondingly arrives

Just like the sea tides

Sarasvati rules the various kinds

Of Naga gods and Yaksas

Capable of taming them all

Brahma-virtue goddess

Surpasses all other female beings

Speaking in truth, just like the Lord of the world

In the realms of lords and kings

Sarasvati is like a lotus

Often acting as the boat

(For beings) to cross over the sea of delusion

Her face is like a full moon

Perfect and much listening

The refuge and support

Her out-standing (distinctive) eloquence

Is like a high mountain

Alone triumph over the rest

The one who is worthy of praise

I do not see anyone who is better than Sarasvati

Those who are terrified in battles,

Or who fall into the great fire

Or falling into dangerous river currents

And seeing bandits

Sarasvati makes them free from all fear

Whoever is captured and imprisoned by the King

Or faced with one’s foes

Who want to kill and harm

Yet if that person remembers Sarasvati

With unswerving mind

He will be liberated from all fear

Sarasvati helps both the kind and the wicked

The thought of compassion

Is ever- present

As such, today I sincerely bow down to

And pay homage to the great Sarasvati

The Brahmin, at that time, praises Sarasvati as followed:
