Medha means genius, intelligence and Medha Sooktam is the Hymn of
Intelligence. It is part of the Maha Narayana Upanishad.
We invoke the Goddess of Intelligence
Who is omnipresent and ever happy
May we, grief stricken people,
Before her advent
Become intelligent, geniuses
Become Self Actualised !
Devi jushamana na aagath,
Viswachi bhadra sumanasyamana,
Thvaya jushta jushamana dhurookthan,
Brahad vadema vidardhe suveera.
One becomes a Sage by Thy Grace
Learned in all sciences
Rich beyond the dreams of avarice
Grace Thy devotees
Thwaya jushtaa rishir bhavathi devi,
Thwaya brahmagath srirutha thwaya,
Thwaya jushtaschithramvindathe vasu,
Sa no jushasva dravinena medhe.
Medham ma indro dadathu,
Medham devi Saraswathi.
Medam may ashvinou ubhavadathaam,
Pushkarasrajo.

Give me intelligence, O Mother
Aapsaraasu cha ya medha,
Gandharveshu cha yan mana,
Devi medha Saraswathi,
Sa mam medha surabhir jushtaam
svaha.
Isnt Intelligence glorious like Ambrosia
Aa maam mesha surabhir viswa roopa,
Hiranya varna jagathi jaamya,
Oorjaswathi payasaa pinvamaanaa,
Sa maam medha suprathika jushtaam.
