What is written under the National Emblem of India?

The National Emblem of India is the official emblem of the Republic of India. It was adopted on January 26, 1950, along with the Constitution of India. The emblem is a representation of the Lion Capital of Ashoka, which was originally installed in Sarnath, Uttar Pradesh, to mark the place where Buddha delivered his first sermon. The emblem is a circular design with the Lion Capital at the centre. The lion is depicted with four lions standing back-to-back on a square base. The base has the words "Satyameva Jayate" (Truth Alone Triumphs) written in Devanagari script. Below the base is a lotus flower, which is the national flower of India.
