Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam emphasising on self reliance
February 02, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam emphasising on Self-reliance:

"नाम्भोधिरर्थितामेति सदाम्भोभिश्च पूर्यते ।

आत्मा तु पात्रतां नेयः पात्रमायान्ति सम्पदः॥"

The Subhashitam conveys that, the ocean never asks for water, yet it is always full. In the same way, when a person becomes capable, wealth comes to them naturally.

Shri Modi stated that self reliance is that lamp which shows the path of self-respect and capability and this time’s budget too will play an important role in making our young companions self-reliant and empowered.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“आत्मनिर्भरता वह दीपक है, जो आत्मसम्मान और सामर्थ्य का मार्ग दिखाता है। इस बार का बजट भी हमारे युवा साथियों को आत्मनिर्भर और सशक्त बनाने में अहम भूमिका निभाने वाला है।

नाम्भोधिरर्थितामेति सदाम्भोभिश्च पूर्यते ।

आत्मा तु पात्रतां नेयः पात्रमायान्ति सम्पदः॥"
