Saraswati Mantra

Ya Kudendu Tusharahara Dhavala Ya Shubhra Vastravrita 

Ya Veena Varadanda Manditakara Ya Shveta Padmasana 
Ya Brahmachyuta Shankara Prabhritibihi Devaih Sada Vandita 
Sa Mam Pattu Sarasvati Bhagavati Nihshesha Jadyapaha

Salutations to Devi Saraswati, who is pure white like Jasmine, with the coolness of Moon, brightness of Snow and shines like the garland of Pearls; the one Who is covered with pure white garments, Whose hands are adorned with Veena (a stringed musical instrument) and the boon-giving staff; and Who is seated on pure white Lotus, Who is always adored by Lord Brahma, Lord Acyuta (Lord Vishnu), Lord Shankara and other Devas.

O Goddess Saraswati, please protect me and remove my ignorance completely.
