कवितस्य गांभीर्यमौदार्यमृद्धेः
    प्रभुत्वस्य शौर्यं गुरुत्वस्य विद्यां ।
महावंश्यतायाः सदाचारपूर्तिं
    महत्त्वस्य सौलभ्यमाकल्पमाहुः ॥

A poem is well decorated only when it is pregnant with deep meaning. A charitable mind decorates a wealthy person. Valour decorates a person in power. Knowledge decorates a teacher. A good character decorates a person born in a good family. A great person is decorated by being accessible to everyone.
