हस्तस्य भूषणं दानं सत्यं कण्ठस्य भूषणम्। श्रोत्रस्य भूषणं शास्त्रं भूषणैः किं प्रयोजनम्॥
hastasya bhūṣaṇaṁ dānaṁ satyaṁ kaṇṭhasya bhūṣaṇam। śrotrasya bhūṣaṇaṁ śāstraṁ bhūṣaṇaiḥ kiṁ prayojanam॥
The ornament of the hand is charity; the ornament of the throat is truth; the ornament of the ear is the hearing of sacred learning — of what use, then, are mere jewelled ornaments? The verse declares that the true adornments of a person are virtues — generosity, truthfulness and wisdom — beside which external decorations are worthless.
