The poem was officially declared the state anthem of the Indian state of Karnataka on January 6, 2004 . </P> <P> The poem envisages a Karnataka that recognises its position in the comity of Indian states, believes in peaceful co-existence with her sisters, but at the same time maintains her self - respect and dignity from a position of confidence and strength rather than insecurity and fear . </P> <P> The official version of the song is as follows: </P> <P> ಜಯ ಭಾರತ ಜನನಿಯ ತನುಜಾತೆ, ಜಯ ಹೇ ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಮಾತೆ! ಜಯ ಸುಂದರ ನದಿ ವನಗಳ ನಾಡೇ, ಜಯ ಹೇ ರಸಋಷಿಗಳ ಬೀಡೆ! </P>
