The
following is Rabindranath Tagore's English rendering of the
stanza:
Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people,
dispenser
of India's destiny.
The name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sind,
Gujarat and Maratha, of the Dravid and Orissa and Bengal;
it echoes in
the hills of the Vindhyas and Himalayas,
mingles in the music of the
Yamuna and Ganga and is chanted by the waves of the Indian Sea.
They
pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise.
The salvation of all
people is in thy hand, thou dispenser of India's destiny. Victory,
victory, victory to thee.
