Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam, highlights commitment to women empowerment
April 16, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi said that with the special session of Parliament commencing today, the country is set to take a historic step towards women empowerment. He noted that respect for mothers and sisters is respect for the nation, and with this spirit, the country is moving forward with firm resolve in this direction.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Shubhashitam-

“व्युच्छन्ती हि रश्मिभिर्विश्वमाभासि रोचनम्।
ता त्वामुषर्वसूयवो गीर्भिः कण्वा अहूषत॥”

The Sanskrit Shubhashitam conveys that a woman, with the light of her knowledge, dispels the darkness of ignorance and illuminates the entire world. Therefore, those who aspire for prosperity and noble virtues always honor and respect women.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“आज से शुरू हो रही संसद की विशेष बैठक में हमारा देश नारी सशक्तिकरण के लिए ऐतिहासिक कदम उठाने जा रहा है। हमारी माताओं-बहनों का सम्मान राष्ट्र का सम्मान है और यही भावना लेकर हम इस दिशा में दृढ़ता से आगे बढ़ रहे हैं।

व्युच्छन्ती हि रश्मिभिर्विश्वमाभासि रोचनम्।

ता त्वामुषर्वसूयवो गीर्भिः कण्वा अहूषत॥”
