Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting complete devotion in the service of nation and humanity
February 11, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting complete devotion in the service of nation and humanity.

"यस्येमे हिमवन्तो महित्वा यस्य समुद्रं रसया सहाहुः।

यस्येमाः प्रदिशो यस्य बाहू कस्मै देवाय हविषा विधेम॥"

The Subhashitam conveys, "To the nation, whose greatness is sung by the Himalayas, whose glory flows with the rivers to the ocean, and to whom the directions bow like mighty arms, we offer our entire being in dedication."

Shri Modi stated that the pioneer of Antyodaya, Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya, also dedicated his life with this very spirit to empower every individual in the country.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“सर्वस्व समर्पण उस चेतना की अभिव्यक्ति है, जिसमें राष्ट्र और मानवता सर्वोपरि होती है। अंत्योदय के प्रणेता पंडित दीनदयाल उपाध्याय जी ने भी इसी भावना से देश के जन-जन को सशक्त बनाने के लिए अपना जीवन समर्पित कर दिया।

यस्येमे हिमवन्तो महित्वा यस्य समुद्रं रसया सहाहुः।

यस्येमाः प्रदिशो यस्य बाहू कस्मै देवाय हविषा विधेम॥"
