भामिनीविलास - गुणगौरव

नैर्गुण्यमेव साधीयो दिगस्तु गुणगौरवम् |
शाखिनोऽन्ये विराजन्ते खण्ड्यन्ते चन्दनद्रुमः ||

- भामिनीविलास

It is better not to have any virtues than dealing with lot of respect that virtue attracts. Look at the other trees in the forest that grow without any hindrances. It is only the sandalwood tree that gets cut down due to its superior quality
