Translation
O Sarasvatī, divine goddess of speech, if I don't use you to obtain Govinda, then Aṣṭādhyāyī is rubbish, Rasavat is tasteless, Kalāpa is like the cawing of crows, Sārasvata (although spoken by you) is useless, Vistara is verbiage, Cāndra is full of misery, and all other grammars are inauspicious.
