Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the power of perseverance and determination
May 27, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, said that even the biggest goals can be achieved through continuous effort, patience and firm determination. He noted that today the people of the country are guided by this very spirit as they take India to new heights.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

“यो यमर्थं प्रार्थयते तदर्थं चेह ते क्रमात् ।
अवश्यं स तमाप्नोति न चेदर्थान् निवर्तते ।।”

The Subhashitam conveys that a person who prays for or desires a specific goal, and makes continuous, systematic efforts to attain it, will undoubtedly achieve that goal, provided they do not give up midway and retreat from their path.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“निरंतर प्रयास, धैर्य और दृढ़ संकल्प के साथ बड़े से बड़े लक्ष्य को हासिल किया जा सकता है। आज देशवासी इसी भावना से भारतवर्ष को नई ऊंचाइयों की ओर ले जा रहे हैं।

यो यमर्थं प्रार्थयते तदर्थं चेह ते क्रमात् ।

अवश्यं स तमाप्नोति न चेदर्थान् निवर्तते ।।”
