Jayati jayati Bhāratamātā

[Sachi_R]

This song is the toast of the day

I find many errors/discrepancies in the Sanskrit words in the various versions on YT.

If anyone has access to the original published version of Shri Shastry, kindly share. I shall happily try to write down the English meanings.

Many thanks

Sachi Sir - such an evocative nice translation !

I would think विमतभयविदूरा is dispels fear from foes.

[Sachi_R]

Oh OK
But I read a milder meaning. Not all विमतयः are necessarily शत्रवः
