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.
✦ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରରେ କୁହାଯାଇଥିବା ପରି
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.

ଶ୍ରୋତ୍ରଂ ଶ୍ରୁତେନୈଵ ନ କୁଣ୍ଡଲେନ ଦାନେନ ପାଣିର୍ନ ତୁ କଙ୍କଣେନ। ଵିଭାତି କାଯଃ କରୁଣାପରାଣାଂ ପରୋପକାରୈର୍ନ ତୁ ଚନ୍ଦନେନ॥
śrotraṁ śrutenaiva na kuṇḍalena dānena pāṇir na tu kaṅkaṇena। vibhāti kāyaḥ karuṇāparāṇāṁ paropakārair na tu candanena॥
ଅର୍ଥ:कान श्रुति (शास्त्र-श्रवण) से ही शोभित होता है, कुण्डल से नहीं; हाथ दान से शोभता है, कंगन से नहीं। करुणाशील व्यक्तियों का शरीर परोपकार से सुशोभित होता है, चन्दन के लेप से नहीं। यह श्लोक सिखाता है कि मनुष्य के सच्चे आभूषण विद्या, दान और परोपकार हैं — न कि गहने या प्रसाधन।
