The motto “मा गृधः कस्यस्विद्धनम्” (Ma Gridhah Kasyasvidhanam) is the motto of the Lokpal of India. This phrase is derived from the Isha Upanishad (Verse 1) and translates to “Do not covet the wealth of others” or “Do not be greedy for anybody’s wealth”. This motto aligns with the role of the Lokpal as an anti-corruption authority, emphasizing integrity and freedom from greed.

The Lokpal is a statutory body constituted under the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013, to inquire into allegations of corruption against public functionaries. Its motto reflects the ethical principles it stands for.

Other institutions have different mottos. For example, the Election Commission of India uses “No Voter Left Behind” in campaigns, though its identity is often just its name. The mottos are often chosen to represent the core values and mission of the institution.
