Mitra-bheda1.273
Sanskrit · 1.273
सन्तप्तायसि संस्थितस्य पयसो नामापि न ज्ञायते मुक्त-कारतया तद् एव नलिनी-पत्र-स्थितं राजते । स्वातौ सागर-शुक्ति-कुक्षि-पतितं तज् जायते मौक्तिकं प्रायेणाधम-मध्यमोत्तम-गुणः संवासतो जायते ॥
English · Meaning
Water resting on heated iron is not even recognized by name; that very water, by taking on a pearl-like form and resting on a lotus leaf, shines. Fallen into the hollow of a sea-oyster under the Svāti star, it becomes a pearl. Generally, inferior, middling, and excellent qualities arise from association.

न ह्य् अविज्ञात-शीलस्य प्रदातव्यः प्रतिश्रयः । मत्-कुणस्य च दोषेण हता मन्द-विसर्पिणी ॥
