01. Ornament is Cultured Speech - Vaak Bhooshanam Bhooshanam

केयूरा न विभूषयन्ति पुरुषं , हारा न चन्द्रोज्ज्वलाः
न स्नानं न विलोपनं न कुसुमं , न अलङ्कृता मूर्धजाः।
वाण्येका समलङ्करोति पुरुषं , या संस्कृता र्धायते
क्षीयन्ते खलु भूषणानि सततं , वाग्भूषणं भूषणम्॥

• केयूरा न विभूषयन्ति पुरुषं: Bracelets do not adorn a person.
• हारा न चन्द्रोज्ज्वलाः: Neither do necklaces that shine like the moon.
• न स्नानं न विलोपनं न कुसुमं नालङ्कृता मूर्धजाः: Neither do baths, perfumes, flowers, or well-groomed hair.
• वाण्येका समलङ्करोति पुरुषं या संस्कृता र्धायते: Only speech, refined by culture and education, truly adorns a person.
• क्षीयन्ते खलु भूषणानि सततं वाग्भूषणं भूषणम्: All other ornaments are perishable, but the ornament of speech is the real ornament that endures.

Bracelets don’t make a person beautiful. Necklaces that shine like the moon don’t add to their beauty. Neither baths, perfumes, flowers, nor well-groomed hair can truly adorn a person. Only cultured and refined speech can truly enhance a person. All other decorations fade over time, but the beauty of good speech lasts forever.

See you soon!!
