The words "Satyameva Jayate" appearing under the national emblem were taken from the historical work called the Mundaka Upanishad. The Mundaka Upanishad is one of the primary Upanishads in Hindu philosophy and is considered a significant Vedic text. It is a dialogue between a student and a teacher, discussing topics related to spiritual knowledge and enlightenment. The phrase "Satyameva Jayate" translates to "truth alone triumphs" and reflects the importance of truth and righteousness in life. It is a powerful message that upholds the value of honesty and integrity. While the Bhagavad Gita, Rig Veda, and Ramayana are important texts in Hinduism, it is the Mundaka Upanishad that specifically includes the phrase under discussion.
