Niti Shatkam • Chapter 1 • Shloka 19
केयूरा न विभूषयन्ति पुरुषं हारा न चन्द्रोज्ज्वला
न स्नानं न विलेपनं न कुसुमं नालङ्कृता मूर्धजाः ।
वाण्येका समलंकरोति पुरुषं या संस्कृता धार्यते
क्षीयते खलु भूषणानि सततं वाग्भूषणं भूषणम् ।।
Armlets, necklaces of moon-like pearls, bathing, smearing with sandalwood, flowers and decorated hair do not suit a man; The beauty of a man is only by the ritual of speech; Because all other jewels definitely perish, but the jewel in the form of speech always remains present.
