Everyone don't have everything | Arthashastra 324



शैले शैले न माणिक्यं मौक्तिकं न गजे गजे।

साधवो महीं सव्रत्रा चन्दनं न हि वने वने ।।


Shaile Shaile Na Manikyam Mauktikam Na Gajegaje |

Saadhavo Maheem Sarvatra Chandanam Na Hi Vavevane ||


Every mountain does not have the gems nor every elephant’s head the pearl. Neither noble man are found everywhere nor sandalwood in every forest.

The pearl found in an elephant’s head was believed to be the pearl of the best quality in the ancient times.
