Несмотря на всемирную известность поэта и хорошую изученность его биографии, с этим девизом связан ряд вопросов. Какова ≪правильная≫ форма этого девиза? В каком официальном документе эта форма зафиксирована? Кто и когда утвердил эти слова в качестве девиза Вишва-бхарати? Из какого источника эти слова были взяты? Почему в обширной литературе о Тагоре ничего не говорится об этом источнике? В статье рассматриваются эти вопросы, и не на все из них удается дать ясные ответы. Проще всего оказывается вопрос об источнике: девиз Вишва-бхарати – это строка из текста (≪главы≫) № 32 ≪Ваджасанейисамхиты≫ ≪Белой Яджур-веды≫. Но при превращении в девиз университета эта строка была радикально переосмыслена: в оригинале речь шла о брахмане-Абсолюте как единой основе сущего, а в девизе – о единении человечества. В подобном переосмыслении старинного текста нет ничего необычного. В качестве аналогии рассмотрен девиз И. Канта “Sapere aude!” – переосмысленная философом цитата из ≪Послания≫ Горация.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The subject of this paper is the motto of the university Viśvabhāratī founded by Rabindranath Tagore in 1921: yatra viśvaṁ bhavati ekanīḍam. In spite of the world fame of the poet and his well researched biography, this motto has remained burdened with a number of questions. What is the “correct” form of this motto? In (by) what official document has this motto been fixed? By whom and when these words were proclaimed the motto of Viśva-bhāratī? From what source (text) these words have been taken? Why, in the vast literature about Tagore, this source (text) is never mentioned? The paper addresses these questions, but not for all of them clear answers are found. The most simple question has proved to be one about the source. It was not too difficult to find out that the motto of Viśva-bhāratī is a line (a pāda) from “chapter” 32 of the “Vājasaneyi-Saṁhitā” of the “White Yajur-veda”. But, while turning into the university motto, this line radically changed its meaning. In the Vedic context, the subject matter was Brahman (the Absolute) as the one and only essence of all that there is. The motto is interpreted as proclaiming the unity of humankind. In such a reinterpretation of an ancient text there is nothing extraordinary. As a rather similar case, we may recall Immanuel Kant’s motto “Sapere aude!” which is a reinterpreted quotation form an “Epistle” of Horace.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Рабиндранат Тагор</kwd><kwd>Вишва-бхарати</kwd><kwd>университет</kwd><kwd>девиз</kwd><kwd>Белая Яджур-веда</kwd><kwd>упанишады</kwd><kwd>И.
