On this auspicious day, this India, freed from the chain of the supreme authority of foreigners cast on her legs by force, having suffered various humiliations for a century and half, now has once more ascended to the honoured position of the Republic, worth of herself, revered by all. 1
India, that was herself a senior at the time when ancient civilizations like that of Egypt were born, and that grew virile when Greek, Roman and other Empires were prospering and collapsing, even remains triumphant, full of youth and happy, when modern countries like England are growing old. 2
To save the intelligent men of this world who are craving for material gains and who, though in themselves intensely devoted to virtue, turn back their face from spiritual glory through delusions, like people who are tossed about on the multitude of waves in the ocean after a ship-wreck, India alone has the ability with the boat of wisdom. 3
The birth-place of holy personages like Jina and Buddha who are Teachers of Religions, the fountain of wisdom, the center for the spread of that (wisdom) in the whole world, a permanent homeland of peace for the followers of the Islamic, Christian and Jewish Religions, may this country that gave shelter to the followers of the Parsi Religion, shine forever. 4
The City that was far-famed for prosperity in the Mahabharata as Indraprastha, now glows in this world as the New Delhi, the Capital City of India, having very beautiful gardens, shops, brilliant lights, big streets, tanks, columns and mansions. 5
