    When you are asking for a good referral website, the answers will be opinion based and your question may be closed. Better change the question, asking for word to word meaning of Saraswati Suktam (RV 6.61), etc Feb 28, 2020 at 2:19

As you can see below, all of the mantras in your question (and the YouTube video you linked) are sourced from the Ṛgveda. I included the English translations for these from the Oxford translation of Ṛgveda by Stephanie Jamison and Joel Brereton.

You can find alternative translation of these verses on this website (Sarasvati in the Veda - Part 1 thru 4) but they are not in the same order as your question or the video.

  1. She gave to the pious Vadhryaśva tempestuous Divodāsa who shakes the debtor, she who has wrenched away the provender from one niggard after another. These are your powerful gifts, o Sarasvatī.
  2. She, like a root-grubbing (boar) with her snortings, broke the back of the mountains with her powerful waves. Sarasvatī, who smashes the foreigners, we would entice here for help with well-plaited (hymns), with visionary thoughts.
  3. Sarasvatī, tear down the scorners of the gods, the offspring of every tricky Br̥saya. And (while) you found streambeds for the settlements, you flowed poison for them, o you rich in prize mares.
  4. Let goddess Sarasvatī, rich in prize mares, with her prizes help us—the helper of visionary thoughts.
  5. Whoever makes appeal to you, goddess Sarasvatī, when the stake is set, as if to Indra at the overcoming of Vr̥tra,
  6. Aid (him), goddess Sarasvatī, at the prize (contests), you prizewinner. Channel gain to us, like Pūṣan.
  7. And this Sarasvatī, having a golden course, fearsome, obstacle-smashing, wants our good praise—
  8. Whose boundless, unswerving, turbulent, roving flood, her onslaught, proceeds ever roaring.
  9. Beyond all hatreds, beyond her other sisters [=rivers] has the truthful one extended us, like the sun the days.
  10. And she, dear(est) among the dear (rivers), having seven sisters, very delightful—Sarasvatī is (ever) worthy of our praise.
  11. Having filled the earthly (places), the broad realm, the midspace, let Sarasvatī protect (us) from scorn.
  12. Having three seats and seven parts, strengthening the five peoples, at every prize contest she is worthy to be invoked.
  13. The one who by her greatness shines ever more brightly among the great (rivers), (beyond) the others by her brilliance, the busiest of the busy, like a chariot lofty and fashioned for wide ranging, she is to be praised by (every) observant one—Sarasvatī.
  14. O Sarasvatī, lead us to a better state. Do not spring away with your milk; do not come up short for us. Take delight in our partnerships and communities. Let us not go from you to alien dwelling places.

  1. She has flowed forth with her surge, with her nourishment—Sarasvatī is a buttress, a metal fortress. Thrusting forward all the other waters with her greatness, the river drives like a lady-charioteer.
  2. Alone of the rivers, Sarasvatī shows clear, as she goes gleaming from the mountains all the way to the sea. Taking note of the abundant wealth of the world, she has milked out ghee and milk for the Nāhuṣa.
  3. He has grown strong as a manly one among maidens, a bullish bull calf among the (river-maidens) worthy of the sacrifice. He provides a prizewinner to the benefactors. He should groom his body for winning.
  4. And this Sarasvatī, the well-portioned, will harken to this sacrifice of ours, taking pleasure in it, being implored by reverential ones with their knees fixed. With wealth as her yokemate, she is even higher than her companions.
  5. Here are (oblations) being poured all the way to you (rivers), along with reverences. Take pleasure in the praise, Sarasvatī. Being set in your dearest shelter, may we stand nearby it like a sheltering tree.
  6. And this Vasiṣṭha here has opened up the doors of truth for you, well-portioned Sarasvatī. Strengthen (him?), resplendent one; grant prizes to the praiser. – Do you protect us always with your blessings.

RV_7,096.06c  bhakṣīmahi prajām iṣam ||

  1. I shall sing a lofty speech: she is the lordly one of the rivers. Magnify Sarasvatī with well-twisted (hymns); with praises (magnify) the two world-halves, o Vasiṣṭha.
  2. Since by your might, resplendent lady, the Pūrus preside over both "stalks" [=honey and ghee? soma and surā? two banks of river?], become our helper, with the Maruts as companions. Stimulate the generosity of the benefactors.
  3. Good Sarasvatī will do good. She shows brightly as the unstinting one, rich in prize mares, while she is being hymned as she was by Jamadagni and she is being praised as she was by Vasiṣṭha.
  4. As bachelors in search of wives, in search of sons, possessing lovely gifts, we call upon Sarasvant.
  5. Your waves, Sarasvant, which are rich in honey, dripping with ghee—with them become our helper.
  6. The swelling breast of Sarasvant, which is lovely for all to see—we would share (in it and) in offspring and refreshment.

  1. O best mother, best river, best goddess, Sarasvatī—we are like ones unlauded: make a laud for us, mother.
  2. In you, the goddess, are all lifetimes fixed, o Sarasvatī. Become exhilarated among the Śunahotras. Allot offspring to us, goddess.
  3. Enjoy these sacred formulations here, o Sarasvatī rich in prize-winning mares, the thoughts dear to the gods that the Gr̥tsamadas pour for you, truthful one.

  • excellent, thank you! also i used from time to time the Ralph T.H. Griffith translation which i honestly don’t really like at all, even better the transliteration of Aurobindo , but it is incomplete. I will have a look at the texts you provided , in the meanwhile here are the 100 points as offered. Apr 7, 2020 at 4:00

Translation in Green message

पावका नः सरस्वती वाजेभिर्वाजिनीवती । यज्ञं वष्टु धियावसुः ॥१.३.१०॥

Paavakaa Nah Sarasvatii Vaajebhir-Vaajiniivatii | Yajnyam Vassttu Dhiyaavasuh ||1.3.10||

Meaning: 1: O Saraswati, You are the purifier (of our Intellect), and Your Strength (of Wisdom) grows within us with Sacrificial Offerings (inner and outer), 2: May my offering in Yagnya strengthen Your Wisdom within me (i.e. May Your presence within me make me rich in Wisdom).

चोदयित्री सूनृतानां चेतन्ती सुमतीनाम् । यज्ञं दधे सरस्वती ॥१.३.११॥ Codayitrii Suunrtaanaam Cetantii Sumatiinaam | Yajnyam Dadhe Sarasvatii ||1.3.11||

Meaning: 1: (Saraswati Who) Inspires us towards Truth and awakens our Goodness (Sumati), 2: (That Saraswati) has (now) held this Yagnya (i.e. Has accepted my offerings).

महो अर्णः सरस्वती प्र चेतयति केतुना । धियो विश्वा वि राजति ॥१.३.१२॥ Maho Arnnah Sarasvatii Pra Cetayati Ketunaa | Dhiyo Vishvaa Vi Raajati ||1.3.12||

Meaning: 1: Saraswati, that Great Wave (of Universal Wisdom) (Who has flowed as a River) and Who is the awakener of our Intellect, ... 2: ... is (now) shining as the embodiment of Universal Wisdom (in this Yagnya).

Next from Puja net

Paavakaa na Saraswathi Vajebhi vajnivathi Yagnam vasthu dhiyaavasu.

Saraswathi is the purifier, Giver of plenty and opulent life, Who is rich in thought and intelligence.

Chodayathri soonruthaanaam, Chethanthi sumathinaam, Yajnam dadhe Saraswathi.

She blesses one with good speech, She brings good thoughts to mind, And let her bless this Yagna (sacrifice).

Maho arnaah Saraswathi, Prachethayathi kethunaa, Dhiyo vishva virajethi.

Oh Saraswathi, please awaken the truth in me, By helping me to perceive the consciousness, And illuminate my entire thought.

Prano devi saraswathi, Vajhebhir vajinavathi, Dhinam avithri avathu.

Oh Saraswathi, be pleased, To give me a plenty and opulent life, And become the protector of our thoughts.

Another Saraswati Sukta is from Rigveda 6:LXI. Below is the translation of Griffith.

  1. To Vadhryasva when. be worshipped her with gifts she gave fierce Divodāsa, canceller of debts. Consumer of the churlish niggard, one and all, thine, O Sarasvatī, are these effectual boons. 2 She with her might, like one who digs for lotus-stems, hath burst with her strong waves the ridges of the hills. Let us invite with songs and holy hymns for help Sarasvatī who slayeth the Paravatas. 3 Thou castest down, Sarasvatī, those who scorned the Gods, the brood of every Bṛsaya skilled in magic arts. Thou hast discovered rivers for the tribes of men, and, rich in wealth! made poison flow away from them. 4 May the divine Sarasvatī, rich in her wealth, protect us well, Furthering all our thoughts with might 5 Whoso, divine Sarasvatī, invokes thee where the prize is set, Like Indra when he smites the foe. 6 Aid us, divine Sarasvad, thou who art strong in wealth and power Like Pūṣan, give us opulence. 7 Yea, this divine Sarasvatī, terrible with her golden path, Foe-slayer, claims our eulogy. 8 Whose limitless unbroken flood, swift-moving with a rapid rush, Comes onward with tempestuous roar. 9 She hath spread us beyond all foes, beyond her Sisters, Holy One, As Sūrya spreadeth out the days. 10 Yea, she most dear amid dear stream, Seven-sistered, graciously inclined, Sarasvatī hath earned our praise. 11 Guard us from hate Sarasvatī, she who hath filled the realms of earth, And that wide tract, the firmament! 12 Seven-sistered, sprung from threefold source, the Five Tribes' prosperer, she must be Invoked in every deed of might. 13 Marked out by majesty among the Mighty Ones, in glory swifter than the other rapid Streams, Created vast for victory like a chariot, Sarasvatī must be extolled by every sage. 14 Guide us, Sarasvatī, to glorious treasure: refuse us not thy milk, nor spurn us from thee. Gladly accept our friendship and obedience: let us not go from thee to distant countries.
