Looking back br She hath a rich vedic treasure. br Looking ahead, br She hath vistas in every measure. br br Upon the bosom of snowy peaks br She is resting her head. br Upon the waters of ceaseless waves br She is resting her feet. br br In her playgrounds br Banyan shades are rich. br And the Ganges is a living theme, br Her waters to all clan sing an ancient lore. br br Even beyond umpteen invasions, br After a long imprisonment, br She is a living mother br Whose breast milk is richer and sweet. br br And unto the world br She hath a living message. br ‘May the entire world live in peace’- br Her ancient caves bless all generations.
