प्राकृत-सूक्तरत्नमाला ।
O lord of streams! how is it that thou art not ashamed of thy blithesome and sprightly waves when thou dost not make the world immortal and opulent with the nectar and treasures in thy possession?
३४
रयणायर-तीर पइडियाण पुरिसाण जं च दालिदं । सा रयणायर-लज्जा न हु लज्जा इयर- पुरिसाणं ॥ ७० ॥ रत्नाकरतीरप्रतिष्ठितानां पुरुषाणां यच्च दारिद्र्यम् । सा रत्नाकरलज्जा न तु लज्जेतरपुरुषाणाम् ॥ ७० ॥
The poverty of persons living near the shores of the ocean ( lit : mine of gems ) signifies the shame of the ocean and not the disgrace of the common people.
