madhurā bhāratī kena vratena madhusūdana
tathaiva janasaubhāgyam atividyāsu kauśalam //

abhedaścāpi dampatyos tathā bandhujanena ca
āyuśca vipulaṃ puṃsāṃ tanme kathaya mādhava //

samyakpṛṣṭaṃ tvayā rājañ chṛṇu sārasvataṃ vratam
yasya saṃkīrtanādeva tuṣyatīha sarasvatī //

yo yadbhaktaḥ pumānkuryād etadvratamanuttamam
