Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 67
यद्यपि चिरेणावधीरितस्य दैवपादैर्मे
बुद्धिनाशः शङ्क्यते तद् अपि न शङ्कनीयम् । यतः ।
मणिर्लुठति पादेषु काचः शिरसि धार्यते ।
यथैवास्ते तथैवास्तां काचः काचौ मणिर्मणिः ॥
And even if my noble lord might suspect that I have lost my mental power being long despised, that, too, should not be done. For, if a gem rolls on the feet and a piece of glass is worn on the head - let that be as it is - a piece of glass is glass and a gem a gem.
