Today on the occasion of the Republic Day of India, I salute the great nation of ours and wish that it becomes even more prosperous.
गणतन्त्र दिवसस्य सर्वेभ्यो देशवासिभ्यो शुभाशयाः ..।
gaṇatantra divasasya sarvebhyo deśavāsibhyo śubhāśayāḥ ..|
Greetings to all on the auspicious occasion of the Indian Republic Day !
रत्नाकरा धौतपदाम् हिमालय किरीटिनीम् ।
ब्रह्मराजर्षि रत्नाढ्याम् वन्दे भारतमातरम् ।।
ratnākarā dhautapadām himālaya kirīṭinīm |
brahmarājarṣi ratnāḍhyām vande bhāratamātaram ||
Bhaarat Maataa (the mother land), I bow to thee, whose feet are being washed by the ocean waves, whose crown is the snowy Himalayas, who is abundant with the precious gemstones in the form of illustrious sons who have distinguished themselves as Brahmarshis and as Rajarshis.
