A special cover was brought out by the India Post on 16.12.2011 on the occasion of the Seminar on Four Decades of Mukta Bangladesh and Indo-Bangladesh Relations.
It was organised by the Institute of Social and Cultural Studies. The special cover shows their logo with the Sanskrit phrase:
इमं च नो गवेषणं
imaṃ ca no gaveṣaṇaṁ
This phrase is culled out from the Ṛgveda 6.56.5. The full text is --
आरात् पूषन्नसि श्रुतः ॥
imaṃ ca no gaveṣaṇaṃ sātaye sīṣadho gaṇam
ārāt pūṣannasi śrutaḥ
"Lead on this company of ours, that longs for kine, to win the spoil:
Thou, Pūṣan, art renowned afar."
-- Rg-veda, tr. by Ralph T.H. Griffith, (1896)
