A few months back, a user of my website contacted me to get a Sanskrit tattoo translation done for the phrase of his choice: Love yourself first. This is a very popular phrase among many users–I have noticed it used among many new-age practitioners of yoga, music etc.
However, it was not easy getting the suitable translation of this phrase in Sanskrit. I deliberated with my source and tried to find out the best possible translation.
I hope you will like it. Feel free to use if you would like to get inked with this Sanskrit tattoo.

For the better understanding of the translation, I am also providing the transliteration in IAST format so that users who don’t understand the Devanagari script could understand it and pronounce it if need be.
