SUBHASHITHANI:292
Ravana's appeal to Sita: Sundara kandam
मां प्राप्य हि कथं नु स्यात् त्वमनर्हा सुविग्रहे॥20.11||
इदं ते चारु संजातं यौवनं व्यतिवर्तते।
यत् अतीतं पुनर्नैति स्रोतः शीघ्र्मपामिव॥20.12||
त्वां कृत्वोपरतो मन्ये रूपकर्ता स विश्वसृक् ।
न हि रूपोपमा त्वन्या तवास्ति शुभदर्शने॥20.13||
You are jewel among women. Do not remain like this. Decorate your limbs. Lady of beautiful body having obtained me how can you be deprived of anything. This beautiful youth of yours thus created will pass away. Like the fast flowing water it will not return again. Oh lady of auspicious looks having created you even the creator stopped. There is none who is comparable beauty to you. -Sundara kandam
न स्नानं न विलेपनं न कुसुमं नालंकृताः मूर्धजाः ।
वाण्येका समलंकरोति पुरुषं या संस्कृता धार्यते
क्षीयन्तेऽखिलभूषणानि सततं वाग्भूषणं भूषणम् ॥Niti satakam
Na snaanam na vilepanam na kusumam naalamkritaa moordhajaah
Vaanyekaa samalankaroti purusham yaa samskritaa dhaaryate
Ksheeyante’khila bhooshanaani satatam vagbhooshanam bhooshanam 1.18
Glittering gold and diamond ornaments, bathing, sandal wood paste for the body, flowers and adornments for the head do not really embellish a person. The greatest adornment of a person is refined and soft speech. All other articles of adornment pale into insignificance before such speech.
ज्ञानस्योपशमः श्रुतस्य विनयो वित्तस्य पात्रे व्ययः ।
अक्रोधस्तपसः क्षमा प्रभवितुर्धर्मस्य निर्वाजता
सर्वेषाम् अपि सर्वकारणम् इदं शीलं परं भूषणम् ॥ Niti satakam
Civility is the ornament of Prosperity, Restrained speech of Valour, Mental tranquility of knowledge, Humility of studying the scriptures, Charity to the deserving of wealth, Control over anger of austerity, Forgiveness of authority and power, and absence of expectations to the performance of religious duties. Moral conduct is the root cause all this- and it is the most precious ornament of all.
स्वायत्तमेकान्तगुणं विधात्रा विनिर्मितं छादनमज्ञतायाः ।
विशेषतः सर्वविदां समाजे विभूषणं मौनमपण्डितानाम् ॥Niti satakam
Swaayattamekaantagunam vidhaatraa
vinirmitam
chchhaadanamajjnataayaah.
Visheshatah sarvavidaam samaaje
vibhooshanam maunamapanditaanaam
Brahma has created a unique quality, which is
available to any one, for covering one’s ignorance. This quality is silence.
Especially in an assembly of all-knowing wise men, silence becomes the
adornment of fools since it keeps their ignorance from coming to light.
एकः क्षमावतां दोषो द्वितीयो नोपपद्यते
यदेनं क्षमया युक्तमशक्तं मन्यते जनः ।
सोऽस्य दोषो न मन्तव्यः क्षमा हि परमं बलं
क्षमा गुणो ह्यशक्तानां शक्तानांभूषणं क्षमा ॥Mahabharatham
People who forgive, have one and only one drawback and no second
- people see them as incapable. It is not the fact. Forgiveness is not a weakness, it is the
greatest strength. It is an appreciable quality when found in the weak; a
decoration (ornament) when found in the mighty.
सत्यं भूषयते लोकं, लोकं भूषयते च श्रीः।
Satyam bhushatate lokam lokam bhushayate cha srih I
Vinayascha shriyo bhooshaa vinayo bhushanam mahat II
Truth sustains the world, world is decorated by prosperity, prosperity shines by humility ; and humility is the best ornament.

(पन्नग-भूषणं-Pannaga Bhushanam- to the one who has ornaments of serpents )
( This sloka needs no translation and hence I have left it without one )
मात्रा समं नास्ति शरीरपोषणं
विद्यासमं नास्ति शरीर भूषणम् ।
भार्यासमं नास्ति शरीरतोषणं
चिंतासमं नास्ति शरीरशोषणम् ॥
mAtrA samam nAsti sharIra poShaNam
vidyA samam nAsti sharIra bhUShaNam।
bhAryA samam nAsti sharIra toShaNam
chintA samam nAsti sharIra shoShaNam ॥
No one takes care of the body like one’s own mother, there is no
decoration greater than knowledge for a human being, no one comforts a man
better than his wife, and nothing troubles a man more than worry.
त्रिभंग देह सुन्दरम , नखाद्युति सुधाकरम
अमूल्य रत्न भूषणं , नमामि नन्द नन्दनं II Sri
Krishna stuti
amulya ratna-bhusanam namami nanda-nandanam
I offer salutations to Nandanandana, whose
threefold-bending posture is
exquisitely elegant, the effulgence of whose toe-nails puts to shame even the
moon,and who wears invaluable jewels and ornaments.
