I heard this puja recited by the Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath and at least three others including Swami Rama and Swami Venkatesananda.
Apparently you have never been a spectator in an authentic puja performed by a Saraswati Sannyasin, but I have witnessed at least four including one at a Ramakrishna Temple at Belurmath. Almost the same exact words, same bija mantras, just like at the public puja at Sringeri.
