प्राकृत- सूक्तरत्नमाला ।
The ignorant foolish persons who look down upon the sagea endowed with good qualities, who bear the weight of self restraint with devotion and ability and who duly cause the light of true knowledge to shine in the world perform austerities, religious observances and introduce improvements in the sacred shrines, repeatedly hurl themselves into the fires of hell.

संगतिः । Company.
अंजणं चक्खु संगेण माला-संगेण सुत्तये ।
तहा सज्जण-संगेण सव्व वत्थूण गोरवं ॥ ३० ॥
अञ्जनं चक्षुःसङ्गन मालासङ्गन सूत्रकम् । तथा सज्जनसङ्गेन सर्ववस्तूनां गौरवम् ॥ ३० ॥
Just as the glory of collyrium is in its contact with the eyes, of a thread in its contact with the garland (on the breast) so does the greatness of all things rest with an association with the good.
* An universal article of eastern toitet used in ancient time to the edges of eye-lashes to darken and improve them. The custom is still prevalent in some parts of India.
