Adhyaya 23 — Ashvatara’s Vow for Madalasa and the Bestowal of Musical Science by Sarasvati
अश्वतर उवाच जगद्धात्रीमहं देवीमारिराधयिषुः शुभाम् ।
स्तोष्ये प्रणम्य शिरसा ब्रह्मयोनिṃ सरस्वतीम् ॥
aśvatara uvāca jagaddhātrīm ahaṁ devīm ārirādhayiṣuḥ śubhām | stoṣye praṇamya śirasā brahma-yonim sarasvatīm ||
অশ্বতৰ ক’লে—জগত ধাৰণ কৰা সেই শুভ দেৱীক প্ৰসন্ন কৰিবলৈ ইচ্ছা কৰি, ব্ৰহ্মযোনি সৰস্বতীক শিৰ নত কৰি মই স্তৱ কৰিম।

Approaching knowledge and accomplishment begins with humility (praṇāma) and praise; Sarasvatī is invoked as the sustaining intelligence behind ordered life and right speech.
Stotra within narrative (Ākhyāna). No direct pañcalakṣaṇa classification.
‘Brahma-yoni’ points to the matrix of mantra and revelation: Sarasvatī is the subtle source from which articulated reality (vāk) and sacred cognition arise.
