The map is encircled by the Two Twigs of Leaves which in Western Philosophy symbolizes Olive branches which is an expression of Peace, Love, and Harmony. Indian Philosophy depicts the Vanaspathi (also called Aushadhi) held in the hands of Dhanvantri (God of Indian medicine), which is the source of all medicines.
At the top of the emblem is the motto of the University:" Swasthya Seva –Rashtra Seva which means “Serving for health is serving the nation”
The motto of the University stresses ' Praninam arti nashnum’ which means Eradication of sorrows of suffering living beings. It has been taken from Sanskrit shlok of “Bhāgavata” which inspires every person who comes to the medical field to serve humanity.
न त्वहं कामये राज्यं न स्वर्गं नापुनर्भवम् ।
कामये दुःखतप्तानां प्राणिनाम् आर्तिनाशनम् ॥
- भागवत
Transliteration:
na tvahaṃ kāmaye rājyaṃ na svargaṃ nāpunarbhavam ।
kāmaye duḥkhataptānāṃ prāṇinām ārtināśanam ॥
- Bhāgavata
Meaning of the Shloka:
I certainly am desirous of neither sovereignty nor (want to attain) heaven nor mokṣa (salvation). I yearn for the relinquishment of grief, of all beings afflicted with pain.
