The attribute most noble of the hand

Is readiness in giving; of the head,

Bending before a teacher; of the mouth,

Veracious speaking; of a victor’s arms,

Undaunted valour; of the inner heart,

Pureness the most unsullied; of the ears,

Delight in hearing and receiving truth—These

are adornments of high-minded men,

Better than all the majesty of Empire.

Bhartrihari.
