  • Vanchi Bhumi (alternatively Vanji Bhumi) was the national anthem of the erstwhile Kingdom of Travancore which now forms part of Kerala. It was formally known as the Vanchishamangalam meaning "Hail the Lord of Vanchi". It was played by the Travancore radio every night as the last item.[1]

    Vanchi Bhumi, meaning the "Land of Vanchi", is a reference to the city of Thiruvanchikulam, Kodungallur the capital of the Later Cheras, and the "Lord of Vanchi", the Later Chera's tutelary deity, Vanchinathan, a name for Hindu god Shiva.

    Written in Malayalam language, it was the anthem of the Kingdom of Travancore until 1947, and the merger of Kingdom of Travancore with India.[2]

    Lyrics[edit]

    Malayalam Romanisation Translation

    വഞ്ചിഭൂമിപതേ ചിരം
    സഞ്ജിതാഭം ജയിക്കേണം

    ദേവദേവൻ ഭവാനെന്നും
    ദേഹസൗഖ്യം വളർത്തേണം
    വഞ്ചിഭൂമിപതേ ചിരം

    ത്വച്ചരിതമെന്നും ഭൂമൗ
    വിശൃതമായി വിളങ്ങേണം
    വഞ്ചിഭൂമിപതേ ചിരം

    മർത്യമനമേതും ഭവാൽ
    പത്തനമായി ഭവിക്കേണം
    വഞ്ചിഭൂമിപതേ ചിരം

    താവകമാം കുലം മേന്മേൽ
    ശ്രീവളർന്നുല്ലസിക്കേണം
    വഞ്ചിഭൂമിപതേ ചിരം

    മാലകറ്റി ചിരം
    പ്രജാപാലനം ചെയ്തരുളേണം
    (വഞ്ചിഭൂമിപതേ ചിരം....)

    vañcibhūmipatē ciraṁ
    sañjitābhaṁ jayikkēṇaṁ

    dēvadēvan bhavānennuṁ
    dēhasakhyaṁ vaḷarttēṇaṁ
    vañcibhūmipatē ciraṁ

    tvaccaritamennuṁ bhūmau
    viśr̥tamāyi viḷaṅgēṇaṁ
    vañcibhūmipatē ciraṁ

    martyamanamētuṁ bhavāl
    pattanamāyi bhavikkēṇaṁ
    vañcibhūmipatē ciraṁ

    tāvakamāṁ kulaṁ mēnmēl
    śrīvaḷarnnullasikkēṇaṁ
    vañcibhūmipatē ciraṁ

    mālakaṟṟi ciraṁ
    prajāpālanaṁ ceytaruḷēṇaṁ
    (vañcibhūmipatē ciraṁ...)

    O Lord of Vanchi Land!
    Thou should hail forever, most gloriously!

    The God of gods*, the Lord*, daily
    Shall promote thy physical well-being!
    O Lord of Vanchi Land!

    Thy legend, in earth, daily,
    Should be famous and glorified;
    O Lord of Vanchi Land!

    All of the human minds
    Should be thy abode;
    O Lord of Vanchi Land!

    The family of thine
    Should prosper graciously.
    O Lord of Vanchi Land!

    Evading the sadness, forever
    Thou should protect the subjects.
    O Lord of Vanchi Land!
    Thou should hail forever, most gloriously!
