Terrible with the clamorous shouts of seventy million throats,Īnd the sharpness of swords raised in twice seventy million hands, The Mother, giver of boons, giver of bliss! Her lands clothed beautifully with her trees in flowering bloom, Her nights rejoicing in the glory of the moonlight, With her hands that strike and her swords of sheen, With many strengths who art mighty and stored, When the sword flesh out in the seventy million hands Who hath said thou art weak in thy lands, The original Vande Mataram consists of six stanzas and the translation in prose for the complete poem by Shri Aurobindo appeared in Karmayogin, 20 November 1909 as Mother, I bow to thee.
