Was reading about India's National Anthem written to One God
- O! Dispenser of India's destiny, thou art the ruler of the minds of all people
- Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, the Maratha country,
- in the Dravida country, Utkala and Bengal;
- It echoes in the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
- it mingles in the rhapsodies of the pure waters of Yamuna and ganga:
- They chant only thy name.
- They seek only thy auspicious blessings.
- They sing only the glory of thy victory.
