सुभाषितरत्नभाण्डागार - श्रीः कदर्यस्य निष्फला

वीणेव श्रोत्रहीनस्य लोलाक्षीव विचक्षुषः ।
व्यसोः कुसुममालेव श्रीः कदर्यस्य निष्फला ॥

- सुभाषितरत्नभाण्डागार

veenA iva shrotra heenasya lolAkShi iva vichakShuShaH ।
vyasoH kusuma mAlA iva shrIH kadaryasya niShphalaa ॥

Just like melody of veena is lost on someone who can't hear, a beauty of a damsel is lost on a blind person and garlands of flower is lost on a dead body - wealth loses its purpose when it accumulates with a miser.
