Sataka
In an aged man appears ripeness of wisdom: it is the oldest sandal-tree which emits the most fragrance.
The good man, even though overwhelmed by misfortune, loses never his inborn greatness of soul. Camphor-wood burnt in the fire becomes all the more fragrant.
What is really beautiful needs no adorning. We do not grind down the pearl upon a polishing stone.
