विभूतिस्त्यागहीनेव सत्यहीनेव भारति ।
विद्या प्रशमहीनेव न भाति स्त्री पतिं विना ॥
- रामायणमञ्जरी, अयोध्या
vibhUtiH tyAgahIna iva satya hIna iva bhArati ।
vidyA prashamahIna iva na bhAti strI patim vinA ॥
- rAmAyaNa manjarI, ayodhyA
Wealth is incomplete if one does not have a charitable mind. Speech is incomplete and useless if it is not truthful. Education is incomplete unless it helps you subdue your emotion. A lady without her husband is similarly incomplete.
- Ramayana Manjari, Ayodhya
दूरस्थो ज्ञायते सर्वः पर्वते ज्वलनादिवत् ।
चूडामणिः शिरस्थोऽपि दृष्यते न स्वचक्षुषा ॥
- रामायण मञ्जरी, किष्किंदा
dUrastho jnAyate sarvaH parvate javalanAdivat ।
chUDamaNiH shirastho api dRuShyate na sva chakShuShA ॥
- rAmAyanamanjarI, kiAShkindA
When things are far away, its a different perspective. Hence we can see things clearly - like a fire lit on top of a hill. But sometimes things very close to us can not be seen - like the gem on our crown can never be seen by our own eyes (without a mirror).
- Ramayana manjari, Kishkinda
