Satyameva Jayate

Satyameva Jayate
(Truth Alone Triumphs)

सत्यमेव जयते नानृतम् सत्येन पन्था विततो देवयानः ।
येनाक्रमन्त्यृषयो ह्यात्मकामो यत्र तत् सत्यस्य परमं निधानं ॥

satyameva jayate nānṛtaṁ
satyena panthā vitato devayānaḥ |
yenākramantyṛṣayo hyāptakāmā
yatra tat satyasya paramaṁ nidhānam ||

Truth alone triumphs; not falsehood  
Through truth the divine path is spread out by which
the sages whose desires have been completely fulfilled,
reach where that supreme treasure of Truth resides.

  • 'Truth stands Invincible'
  • 'Truth alone triumphs'
  • 'Truth alone conquers, not falsehood'
  • 'The true prevails, not the untrue'
  • 'Truth alone conquers, not untruth'
  • 'Truth Alone Triumphs ,not that against Sacred law

The Self is the sun shining in the sky,The wind blowing in space; he is the fire at the altar and in the home the guest; He dwells in human beings, in gods, in truth,And in the vast firmament; he is the fish born in water, the plant growing in earth,The river flowing down the mountain.For this Self is supreme!
(Katha Upanishad II.2.2)
