Sukta 57
सरस्वती। यदाशसा वदतो मे विचुक्षुभे यद् याचमानस्य चरतो जनाँ अनु । यदात्मनि तन्वोऽमे विरिष्टं सरस्वती तदा पृणद् घृतेन

O Sarasvatī—when, speaking in hope, I am shaken; when, a suppliant wandering, I follow after men; when in my very self, in my body, there is a rift—then, O Sarasvatī, do thou fill it full with ghee.
