Chanakya Niti • Chapter 15 • Shloka 9
मणिर्लुण्ठति पादाग्रे काचः शिरसि धार्यते ।
क्रय विक्रयवेलायां काचः काचो मणिर्मणिः ।।
For want of discernment the most precious jewels lie in the dust at the feet of men while bits of glass are worn on their heads. But we should not imagine that the gems have sunk in value, and the bits of glass have risen in importance. When a person of critical judgement shall appear, each will be given its right position.
