Mottos of Indian armed forces in Samskrtam

[Usha Sanka]

Namaste

Found something that interests Samskrtam lovers. The Mottos of Indian armed forces in Samskrtam.

The site has given only English spellings. Here I add Samskrtam Devanagari ones too. (Have put question marks where in doubt with words and meanings.)

Interestingly enough, site says- "Many Indonesian Armed Forces' mottoes are taken from Sanskrit language and..."

So one can see them as well on the site. (URL given below)

Collected only Samskrtam ones; (for others (and these with meanings), please visit the site)

(And please ignore if already aware of these. :))

Thankyou

<Indian Air Force - "Nabha sparsham Deeptam" - नभस्पर्शं दीप्तम्>

The correct rendering is 'नभ:स्पृशं दीप्तम्' and comes from the Geeta in Ch 11 as 

नभ:स्पृशं दीप्तमनेकवर्णं व्यात्ताननं दीप्तविशालनेत्रम्  ।

दृष्ट्वा हि त्वां प्रव्यथितान्तरात्मा धृतिं न विन्दामि शमं च विष्णो ॥ ११-२४ ॥

As I remember to have read, this was suggested as a motto to the IAF by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, a former President of India.

Similar corrections are needed in the other quotes.

Namaste,

Yes. There are many mistakes in Samskrtam words wherever we find them in the world in non-Samskrtam fields. It pains a lot. 

I did not know how to let those institutions know about these mistakes. English has limited sounds to spell Samskrtam words. But even then some could be corrected easily. Can someone let me know, how to make them aware of this issue? Where to write them?

ॐ शं नो मित्रः शं वरुणः । शं नो भवत्वर्यमा । शं नो इन्द्रो बृहस्पतिः । शं नो विष्णुरुरुक्रमः । नमो ब्रह्मणे । नमस्ते वायो । त्वमेव प्रत्यक्षं बह्मासि । त्वामेव प्रत्यक्षं ब्रह्म वदिष्यामि । ऋतं वदिष्यामि । सत्यं वदिष्यामि । तन्मामवतु । तद्वक्तारमवतु । अवतु माम । अवतु वक्तारम् ।

ॐ शान्तिः । शान्तिः । शान्तिः ।   

 (ॐ शं नः मित्रः शं वरुणः । शं नः भवतु अर्यमा । शं नः इन्द्रः बृहस्पतिः । शं नः विष्णुः उरुक्रमः । नमः ब्रह्मणे । नमः ते वायो । त्वम् एव प्रत्यक्षं बह्म असि । त्वाम् एव प्रत्यक्षं ब्रह्म वदिष्यामि । ऋतं वदिष्यामि । सत्यं वदिष्यामि । तत् माम् अवतु । तत् वक्तारम् अवतु । अवतु माम । अवतु वक्तारम् । ॐ शान्तिः, शान्तिः, शान्तिः ।)  

अर्थ – देवता ‘मित्र’ हमारे लिए कल्याणकारी हों, वरुण कल्याणकारी हों । ‘अर्यमा’हमारा कल्याण करें । हमारे लिए इन्द्र एवं बृहस्पति कल्याणप्रद हों । ‘उरुक्रम’ (विशाल डगों वाले) विष्णु हमारे प्रति कल्याणप्रद हों । ब्रह्म को नमन है । वायुदेव तुम्हें नमस्कार है । तुम ही प्रत्यक्ष ब्रह्म हो । अतः तुम्हें ही प्रत्यक्ष तौर पर ब्रह्म कहूंगा । ऋत बोलूंगा । सत्य बोलूंगा । वह ब्रह्म मेरी रक्षा करें । वह वक्ता आचार्य की रक्षा करें । रक्षा करें मेरी । रक्षा करें वक्ता आचार्य की । त्रिविध ताप की शांति हो ।
