  Salutations to Lord Hayagreeva, who is the personification of eternal happiness of knowledge with the purest luster and the basis for all learning

 We worship Lord Ganesha, who has the luscious face of an elephant, with the inexhaustible serenity of a lotus and as the one-toothed God who satisfies all his devotees with various gifts.

.Oh! Goddess of knowledge and an eternal source for the fulfilment of all desires - Saraswathi, I salute you at the initiation of my learning and pray that success be bestowed on me.

 .The Teacher is deemed to be the trio of Gods: Bramha, Vishnu and Maheshwara - the actual causes of the very existence of this universe; he is the ultimatum. Such a Guru is revered.

 .Oh! Lord Krishna, the Master of this world,  son of Vasudeva and Devaki and the destroyer of demons Kamsa and Chaanura, our salutations to thee.

.Let both Teacher and Pupil live together, eat together, carry out great deeds together, be blessed by the light of knowledge and good fortune and never have enemies. Let peace prevail forever.
