Sri Neela Saraswati stotram

The Neelasaraswati Stotram praises the fierce yet benevolent form of Goddess Saraswati, known as Neela Saraswati or Ugra Tara. Despite Her terrifying appearance, Her heart is filled with compassion toward devotees.

The first verse describes Her as the destroyer of enemies and the giver of boons. The second verse highlights that gods, demons, siddhas, and gandharvas worship Her, and She removes ignorance and sins.

The third verse portrays Her with matted locks and a protruding tongue, granting sharp intellect and clarity. The fourth verse explains Her dual nature—gentle and fierce—while being the very embodiment of creation.

The fifth verse praises Her as the remover of foolishness and the loving protector of devotees. The sixth describes Her as the essence of the mantra “Hreem”, beloved in sacrificial rituals, and honored as Ugra Tara.

The seventh verse is a prayer asking for intelligence, fame, poetic skill, and the removal of ignorance. The eighth verse depicts Her as compassionate, worshipped by divine beings including Indra.
