सुभाषितरत्नसमुच्चय - दान

गौरवं प्राप्यते दानान्न तु वित्तस्य संचयात् ।
स्थितिरुच्छैः पयोदानां पयोधीनामधः स्थितिः ॥

gauravam prApyate dAnAn na tu vittasya sanchayAt ।
sthitiH ucchaiH payodAnAm payodhInAm adhaH sthitiH ॥

One gets respect by giving away wealth in charity, not by accumulating wealth. Clouds that give water has its place high in the sky. The seas that collect water has its place below.
