Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

On Wealth

The Uses of High Standing

Men highly placed by six good gifts are high

The first is noble liberality;

The second, power that swift obedience brings;

Service to holy men and holy things

Comes next; then fame; protection then of friends;

Pleasure in pleasant things the great list ends.

Whose rising with these six is unallied,

What seeks he by a mighty prince's side?
