दानेन पाणिर्न तु कंकणेन स्नानेन शुद्धिर्न तु चन्दनेन।
मानेन तृपि्तर्न तु भोजनेन ज्ञानेन मुक्तिर्न तु मण्डनेन ।।
Dannen Paanirn Tu Kankanen Snaanen Shuddhirna Tu Chandanen |
Maanen Triptirn Tu Bhojanen Gyaanen Muktirna Tu Mandanen ||
Beauty of hands lies in giving alms and not in wearing bracelets
The body becomes clean by taking bath and not by applying sandal wood paste
One feels satisfied by being honored and not by being fed
One attains to Moksha by knowledge and not by self-decoration
Moksha is a stage represented by desirelessness; while the process of self-decoration is the outcome of the attempt to satiate the desires, which is intermiable, as the desires have a tendency to grow on what they are fed.
