Tagore's poem from which the Anthem was taken had 5 stanzas
Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, in 1911, wrote and composed a five-stanza long highly Sanskritised Bengali poem, whose first stanza was adopted as the National Anthem of India. The poem was titled 'Bharot Bhagyo Bidhata' and literally translates to 'the dispenser of the destiny of India'. Notably, 'Jana Gana Mana' was adopted as the country's National Anthem on January 24, 1950.
