जनं बिभ्रती बहुधा विवाचसं नानाधर्माणं पृथिवी यथौकसम् ।

हिन्दी में भावार्थ

अनेक प्रकार से विभिन्न भाषाओं को बोलने वाले तथा अनेक धर्मों को मानने वाले (विभिन्न आचार-विचार वाले) जन-समुदाय को एक ही घर में रहने वाले लोगों के समान यह मातृभूमि (पृथ्वी) धारण करती है|

Meaning in English

This Motherland (earth in general and India or Bharat in specific) shelters and nourishes (without any discrimination) people who speak different languages, follow different customs and have different thought processes like people living in the same house (members of a family).

अथर्ववेद पृथिवीसूक्तम् १२.१.४५  l  Atharva Veda Prithvi Suktam 12.1.45

From times immemorial, India has been a land in which diverse people live together in unity. This is attested even in the Vedic literature as is attested to by in the famous Sanskrit quote above.
