I love how they incorporate all core Dharmic philosophies of ancient India in this song. Jain mantra -> Buddhist mantra -> Vedic mantra from the Rig Veda. Namokar Mantra: ॐ णमो अरिहंताणं *Om Namo Arihantanam* I bow down to Arihanta. ॐ णमो सिद्धाणं *Om Namo Siddhanam* I bow down to Siddha. ॐ णमो आयरियाणं *Om Namo Ayariyanam* I bow down to Acharya. ॐ णमो उवज्झायाणं *Om Namo Uvajjhayanam* I bow down to Upadhyaya. ॐ णमो लोए सव्व साहूणं *Om Namo Loe Savva-sahunam* I bow down to all Sadhus and Sadhvis. एसो पंच णमोक्कारो *Eso Panch Namokaro* These five bowings downs, सव्व पावप्पणासणो *Savva-pavappanasano* Destroy all the sins. मंगला णं च सव्वेसिं *Manglananch Savvesim* Amongst all that is auspicious, पढमं हवई मंगलं *Padhamam Havei Mangalam* This Navkar Mantra is the foremost. Dhammacārī Initiation: नमो तस्स भगवतो अरहतो सम्मा सम्बुद्धस्स *Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsaṃbuddhassa* Homage to Him, the Richly Endowed, the Free, the Fully and Perfectly Awake (3x) बुद्धम् शरणम् गच्छामि *Buddham Saranam Gacchāmi* I go to the Buddha for refuge. धर्मम् शरणम् गच्छामि *Dharmam Saranam Gacchāmi* I go to the Dharma for refuge. सङ्घम् शरणम् गच्छामि *Sangham Saranam Gacchāmi* I go to the Sangha for refuge. दुतियम्पि बुद्धम् शरणम् गच्छामि *Dutiyampi Buddham Saranam Gacchāmi* For the second time, I go to the Buddha for refuge. दुतियम्पि धर्मम् शरणम् गच्छामि *Dutiyampi Dharmam Saranam Gacchāmi* For the second time, I go to the Dharma for refuge. दुतियम्पि सङ्घम् शरणम् गच्छामि *Dutiyampi Sangham Saranam Gacchāmi* For the second time, I go to the Sangha for refuge. ततीयम्पि बुद्धम् शरणम् गच्छामि *Tatiyampi Buddham Saranam Gacchāmi* For the third time, I go to the Buddha for refuge. ततीयम्पि धर्मम् शरणम् गच्छामि *Tatiyampi Dharmam Saranam Gacchāmi* For the third time, I go to the Dharma for refuge. ततीयम्पि सङ्घम् शरणम् गच्छामि *Tatiyampi Sangham Saranam Gacchāmi* For the third time, I go to the Sangha for refuge. Chant from Rig Veda (2.23.1): गणानां त्वा गणपतिं हवामहे *Gananam Tva Ganapatim Havamahe* We invoke You, O Ganapati, the leader of the multitudes. कविं कवीनामुपमश्रवस्तमम् *Kavim Kavīnam Upamashravastamam* The wisest among the wise, the most renowned sage. ज्येष्ठराजं ब्रह्मणां ब्रह्मणस्पत: *Jyeshtha-Rajam Brahmanam Brahmanaspatah* The eldest of the divine, the lord of prayers. आ नः शृण्वन्नूतिभिः सीद सादनम् *Aanah Shrinvann Utibhih Sida Sadanam* Listen to us and take your seat, bringing protection with you. ॐ श्री महागणपतये नमः *Om Shree Mahaganapataye Namah* Salutations to Shri Mahaganapati.

thanks for sharing this!

[@Gojoseon]

This is one of the best Civ 7 themes so far. Strong vocals and the track actually changes more over time. It’s not as repetitive as the ancient Greek theme for sure.

[@ssrinidh]

The chanting is awesome, but even more, the fact that they've blended Jain, Buddhist, and Hindu chanting together is amazing!

[@Thantros]

Glad they aren't shying away from vocals like they did in previous entries. The chanting sounds fantastic.

[@ShrimpBarbarian]

RIGHT!!!!! CHILLS.

[@kikk276]

Vocals are awesome if done right, and they did it where they would fit best. Civ 6 Byzantium, Georgia and Mongolia was absolute bangers.

Chandragupta only supposedly converted to Jainism after abdicating the throne. Bindusara remained Hindu. Ashoka and his successors patronised both Buddhism and Hinduism. The following Shunga and Satvahana Emperors were primarily Hindu but also patronised Buddhism.

[@Baleur]

Vocals add humanity to civ. Civilizations are founded on humans. More vocals. This is great. Music shouldnt be "too ambient". It should be clear and noticeable.

[@laithalabri8456]

I don't disagree that vocals are nice, but in a game where you're listening to largely the same few tracks on repeat for hours on end, I don't think it's that bad for the music to be more understated.

[@temjam01]

@@laithalabri8456 my hope is that, as in other civs, they have more than one track for each civ. I love these tracks so far (Egypt and this one are my faves) but I do hope for some more generic (but good) music in between so it's not just this on repeat for the 5 hours i'm playing a game.

[@BombOmbBuddy]

I appreciate that more composers are involved in this first wave of themes, but Geoff Knorr really proves his worth on this track. The vocals, particularly, are killer. This the best track released so IMO. Also major props to the Firaxis marketing team. The content roll out for Civ VII is really well executed.

[@ElegyStatue]

I was already liking the vocals, then 4:40 hit and I'm LOVING them now

[@samarthramesh5211]

not really? While we do enjoy our percussion in classic music, the stage is still centered on the vocals, the beautiful gliding up-and down the scales that our artists are so renowned for!

[@Bhagya.Solanki]

@@abhays.chauhan9645 That short part of Brahminism AKA presently known as Hinduism from this whole music might be from Sanskrit Language but Almost 70 to 75 percent of this music like the Namokar Mantra of Jainism was actually spoken in Ardhamagadhi Prakrit Language and the Buddham Sharnam Gacchami was spoken in Pali Language... And the Sanskrit Language itself is originated from Prakrit Language.

Any Spotify recommendations for "more like this"? What do you call this "genre"?

[@gametheory3458]

These are chants of various religious mantras. The first on is Jain, the second one is Buddhist and the third one is Hindu (I'm not sure what the fourth one is). You'll find more of these if you search the names of various mantras on KZbin but you'll often find two different versions of each, one is much more song-like while the other is closer to actual chanting, like this video is

[@sumratseven]

As above mentioned, there are many but they all sound very different plus with time how they are sung has changed to as modern singers try to make Lofi versions of these with single singer and without instrumental... But these verses sound epic in group chanting with proper rhythm You can Check Nirvana Shatakam By Sounds of Isha Maha Mrityunjay Mantra By Sounds of Isha Both sound same as vid song You Can Find More By Searching Vedic Chants, Stotram, Ashkatam, Stuti, Some Of them Are Energetic Like Shiv Tandav Stotram By Shankar Mahadevan and some are melodious like Shree Hari Stotram By Agam Agrawal... Both Completely different from vid song
