श्रोत्रं श्रुतेनैव न कुण्डलेन दानेन पाणिर्न तु कङ्कणेन। विभाति कायः करुणापराणां परोपकारैर्न तु चन्दनेन॥
śrotraṁ śrutenaiva na kuṇḍalena dānena pāṇir na tu kaṅkaṇena। vibhāti kāyaḥ karuṇāparāṇāṁ paropakārair na tu candanena॥
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.
