अभिनवपाठावलि - भूषणं

किं भूषणं रुचिरमत्र यशो न रत्नं
     किं कार्यमार्यचरितं सुकृतं न दोषः ।
किं चक्षुरप्रतिहतं धिषणा न नेत्रं
    किं तापहारि मधुरं वचनं न पाथः ॥

- अभिनवपाठावलि

kim chakShuH apratihataM dhiShaNA na netram
    kim tApahAri madhuram vachanam na pAthaH ॥

What decorate you? Fame. Not gems. What is one's duty? To live the Aryan way. Not sin. What gives you unlimited sight? Mind. Not eyes. What gives relief? Sweet words. Not Water.

अभिनवपाठावलि - दुःख

लोभमूलानि पापानि व्याधयो रसमूलकाः ।
स्नेहमूलानि दुःखानि त्रीणि त्यक्त्वा सुखी भवेत् ॥

- abhinavapAThAvali

Greed is the cause of all sins, indulgence the cause of illness, attachment/friendship is the cause of sadness. If one lets go of the three, then he shall be happy.
