Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the values of penance, religious observances and collective welfare as the foundations of a nation’s strength and progress.
PM Modi shared a Sanskrit verse in a post on X, “भद्रमिच्छन्त ऋषयः स्वर्विदस्तपो दीक्षामुपनिषेदुरग्रे। ततो राष्ट्रं बलमोजश्च जातं तदस्मै देवा उपसन्नमन्तु॥”
The verse or Sanskrit Subhashitam means: “The sages, who wished for the welfare of all and were knowledgeable about heaven, first devoted themselves to penance and religious observances. It was through this penance and these observances that the nation, strength, and power came into existence. All the gods pay homage to such a progressive nation and its strength.”
