Chanakya Neeti 2 9
शैले शैले च माणिक्यं मौक्तिकं न गजे गजे । साधवो न हि सर्वत्र चन्दनं न वने वने ॥9ll
Śailē śailē ca māṇikyaṁ mauktikaṁ na gajē gajē. Sādhavō na hi sarvatra candanaṁ na vanē vanē.
हर पर्वत पर माणिक्य नहीं होते, हर हाथी के सर पर मणी नहीं होता, सज्जन पुरुष भी हर जगह नहीं होते और हर वन मे चन्दन के वृक्ष भी नहीं होते हैं।
Hindi Translation
There does not exist a ruby in every mountain, nor a pearl in the head of every elephant; neither are the sadhus to be found everywhere, nor sandal trees in every forest.
