Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam, noting that our motherland has been the sacred land of spiritual practice and worship, as well as courage, strength, and universal welfare. Shri Modi expressed his earnest wish that this holy land of great heritage and ancient culture may always keep everyone replete with happiness and prosperity.
The Prime Minister posted on X:
"हमारी मातृभूमि साधना और उपासना के साथ-साथ साहस, शक्ति और सर्व-कल्याण की पुण्यभूमि रही है। महान विरासत और प्राचीन संस्कृति की यह पावन धरती हर किसी को सदैव सुख-समृद्धि से परिपूर्ण रखे, यही कामना है।
यस्यां पूर्वे पूर्वजना विचक्रिरे यस्यां देवा असुरानभ्यवर्तयन् ।
गवामश्वानां वयसश्च विष्ठा भगं वर्चः पृथिवी नो दधातु ।।"
May the land where our ancestors performed great and benevolent deeds, and where the gods defeated the unjust forces, that motherland, full of livestock and power, grant us vast space and prosperity.
हमारी मातृभूमि साधना और उपासना के साथ-साथ साहस, शक्ति और सर्व-कल्याण की पुण्यभूमि रही है। महान विरासत और प्राचीन संस्कृति की यह पावन धरती हर किसी को सदैव सुख-समृद्धि से परिपूर्ण रखे, यही कामना है।
