gharmārtaṃ na tathā suśītala-jalaiḥ snānaṃ na muktāvalī
na śrīkhaṇḍa-vilepanam sukhayati pratyaṅgam apy arpitam |
prītyai sajjana-bhāṣitaṃ prabhavati prāyo yathā cetasaḥ
sad-yuktyā ca pariṣkṛtaṃ sukṛtinām ākṛṣṭi-mantropamam //

For one afflicted by heat, a bath with very cool waters does not bring such delight, nor a pearl necklace, / nor the smearing of sandalwood paste applied to every limb, / as the speech of a virtuous person generally can to the joy of the mind, / adorned with sound reasoning, like an attracting mantra for the righteous.
