  • Gold becomes sad when weighed with a seed -Sanskrit subhashitam

    विदग्धा वाक्


    हेम्नः खेदो न तापेन च्छेदने कर्षणेन वा ।
    तदेव हि परं दुःखं यद्गुञ्जासमतोलनम्॥

    --सभाषितलसुधानन्दलहरी १०





    By heating it up and melting in fire, by cutting it, rubbing it etc., gold is not unhappy; but it becomes sorrowful, when it to be weighed against 'gunja' (A precatorious small seed used to weigh gold against)
