Bhartrhari Niti Shataka · Bhartrhari · Classical Sanskrit literature (c. 5th century CE)
The Niti Shataka is the first of Bhartrhari's three celebrated centuries of verse (Shatakatraya), gathering a hundred epigrams on right conduct and the ways of the world. Among its verses on virtue and character, this shloka beautifully lists the genuine ornaments of a human being — learning, charity and compassion — declaring them far superior to earrings, bracelets and sandal paste.
✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ
This verse has long inspired the learned and the generous; teachers recount that students who take it to heart come to value a well-read mind and an open hand above any finery, understanding that the kindness one shows others is the only adornment that truly shines.

ਸ਼੍ਰੋਤ੍ਰਂ ਸ਼੍ਰੁਤੇਨੈਵ ਨ ਕੁਣ੍ਡਲੇਨ ਦਾਨੇਨ ਪਾਣਿਰ੍ਨ ਤੁ ਕਙ੍ਕਣੇਨ। ਵਿਭਾਤਿ ਕਾਯਃ ਕਰੁਣਾਪਰਾਣਾਂ ਪਰੋਪਕਾਰੈਰ੍ਨ ਤੁ ਚਨ੍ਦਨੇਨ॥
śrotraṁ śrutenaiva na kuṇḍalena dānena pāṇir na tu kaṅkaṇena। vibhāti kāyaḥ karuṇāparāṇāṁ paropakārair na tu candanena॥
ਅਰਥ:The ear is adorned by sacred learning, not by an earring; the hand by charity, not by a bracelet. The body of the compassionate shines through acts of kindness to others, not through sandalwood paste. The verse teaches that the true ornaments of a person are learning, generosity and benevolence — not jewellery or cosmetics.
