Prime Minister Shares Sanskrit Subhashitam on the Importance of Protecting the Roots
February 25, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam today, emphasizing the critical importance of protecting the fundamental roots of wisdom and daily discipline .The Subhashitam shared by the Prime Minister reads:

विप्रो वृक्षस्तस्य मूलं च सन्ध्या वेदाः शाखा धर्मकर्माणि पत्रम्।
तस्मान्मूलं यत्नतो रक्षणीयं छिन्ने मूले नैव शाखा न पत्रम्॥

"A wise person is like a tree. The root of that tree of knowledge is daily worship. The Vedas are its branches, and good deeds are its leaves. Therefore, the root must be carefully protected, because if the root is destroyed, neither the branches nor the leaves will survive."

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

विप्रो वृक्षस्तस्य मूलं च सन्ध्या वेदाः शाखा धर्मकर्माणि पत्रम्।
तस्मान्मूलं यत्नतो रक्षणीयं छिन्ने मूले नैव शाखा न पत्रम्॥
