Truth is the ornament for the neck..., charity the ornament for the hand....

"Truth is the ornament for the neck."

"Charity is the ornament for the hand."

"Listening to sacred scriptures is the ornament for the ears."


What other ornaments does a man need
if he had these three? So says a Sanskrit saying.

The ornaments which people wear
today are a source of fear.

But if the ornaments of truth,
charity, and listening to sacred teachings
are worn, there is no cause for fear.

This is called fearlessness.
