Niti Shataka of Bhartrhari (Subhashita) · Bhartrhari · Classical Sanskrit literature (c. 5th century CE)
Bhartrhari, according to tradition a king who renounced his throne for the contemplative life, composed three Shatakas — collections of a hundred verses each — on ethics (Niti), love (Shringara) and renunciation (Vairagya). The Niti Shataka gathers his keen observations on human conduct, fate, wealth and wisdom. This verse stands among his most quoted, a withering commentary on a world that confuses gold with greatness.
✦ શાસ્ત્રોમાં કહ્યા પ્રમાણે
Though a worldly observation rather than a devotional hymn, this verse has guided countless readers across the centuries to a single liberating insight — that the soul's true riches are virtue and wisdom, which no amount of gold can buy or counterfeit.

અર્થ:The man who has wealth is considered well-born; he is called learned, scripturally wise and a connoisseur of merit; he alone is the eloquent speaker and even the handsome one — for all virtues take refuge in gold. With biting irony, Bhartrhari observes how the world heaps every imagined excellence upon the rich, simply because they are rich.

Yasyasti Vittam Sa Narah Kulinah જપ વિધિ
Recite the verse slowly, savouring its irony, and reflect on how often the world's praise follows money rather than merit. Read it as a mirror for one's own attitudes — do we respect people for who they are or for what they own? It is best contemplated rather than ritually repeated, used as a daily reminder to honour genuine character over wealth.
