Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam emphasising on sacred Earth as a source of strength to the nation
March 10, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam emphasising on sacred Earth as a source of strength to the nation:

“यार्णवेऽधि सलिलमग्र आसीद्यां मायाभिरन्वचरन्मनीषिणः।

यस्या हृदयं परमे व्योमन्त्सत्येनावृतममृतं पृथिव्याः।

सा नो भूमिस्त्विषिं बलं राष्ट्रे दधातूत्तमे॥”

The Subhashitam conveys that, the Earth, which is filled with water within the oceans, and surrounded by water outside, which thoughtful scholars have understood through their wisdom, and whose heart is covered by the eternal truth in the vast sky – may that earth, sustain our energy and strength in a noble nation.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“यार्णवेऽधि सलिलमग्र आसीद्यां मायाभिरन्वचरन्मनीषिणः।

यस्या हृदयं परमे व्योमन्त्सत्येनावृतममृतं पृथिव्याः।

सा नो भूमिस्त्विषिं बलं राष्ट्रे दधातूत्तमे॥”
