Prime Minister shares a Sanskrit Subhashitam emphasising that well-ordered standards must guide human conduct
May 20, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam, noting that righteous conduct is like a lamp that illuminates not only an individual but the entire society. Shri Modi highlighted that adopting this very ideal, the people of our country are engaged in nation-building today with complete restraint, capability, and devotion to duty.

The Prime Minister posted on X:

"श्रेष्ठ आचरण वह दीपक है, जिससे व्यक्ति के साथ-साथ समाज भी आलोकित होता है। इसी आदर्श को अपनाते हुए हमारे देशवासी आज पूरे संयम, सामर्थ्य और कर्तव्यनिष्ठा से राष्ट्र निर्माण में जुटे हुए हैं।

तस्माच्छास्त्रं प्रमाणं ते कार्याकार्यव्यवस्थितौ।
ज्ञात्वा शास्त्रविधानोक्तं कर्म कर्तुमिहार्हसि।।"

The determination of what ought to be done and what ought not to be done should not rest upon subjective opinion or momentary impulse but upon a well-ordered standard grounded in the Śāstra, which imparts direction and discipline to conduct. Therefore, a person ought to act in accordance with that established system of standards, so that one's conduct becomes balanced, validated and meaningful.
