Jaya

जय★ Essential

Sanskrit

Victory — an exclamation of praise.

Lyrics

Meaning

Jaya means victory, and doubled as 'jaya jaya' it becomes an acclamation: hail, victory to you. It punctuates hymns of praise and is often sung as a refrain, the crowd's cry to a deity rather than a statement about a battle.
