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.
✦ শাস্ত্রে যেমন বলা হয়েছে
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.

অর্থ:जिसके पास धन है वही मनुष्य कुलीन माना जाता है; वही पण्डित, वही शास्त्रज्ञ और गुणों का पारखी कहलाता है; वही वक्ता और वही दर्शनीय (सुन्दर) भी है — क्योंकि सभी गुण तो स्वर्ण (धन) का ही आश्रय लेते हैं। भर्तृहरि व्यंग्यपूर्वक दिखाते हैं कि संसार धनवान पर केवल इसलिए सारे गुण आरोपित कर देता है क्योंकि वह धनी है।

यस्यास्ति वित्तं स नरः कुलीनः পাঠের নিয়ম
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.
