Sanskrit Pearl of the day:
शीलभारवती कान्ता पुष्पभारवती लता ।
अर्थभारवती वाणी भजते कामपि श्रियं ॥
- रसगङ्गाधर

Transliteration:
śīlabhāravatī kāntā puṣpabhāravatī latā ।
arthabhāravatī vāṇī bhajate kāmapi śriyaṃ ॥
- rasagaṅgādhara

Meaning of the subhAShita:
A woman brimming with good character, a creeper filled with blooms, and a speech overflowing with purpose; who else does prosperity turn to?

Commentary:
Prosperity automatically comes where there is value.

A woman with integrity gets respect instantaneously. A creeper filled with blossoms naturally attracts anyone's eye.  Similarly, pleasant words and meaningful speech will appease everyone.

In a place where these characteristics are present, prosperity will have no means to resist. Prosperity always offers itself to such people.

Live purposeful lives to be prosperous!
