Shatakatraya 1.23

1.23

jāḍyaṃ dhiyo harati siñcati vāci satyaṃ
mānonnatiṃ diśati pāpam apākaroti |
cetaḥ prasādayati dikṣu tanoti kīrtiṃ
sat-saṅgatiḥ kathaya kiṃ na karoti puṃsām ||

It removes dullness of the intellect, sprinkles truth into speech,
directs elevation of honor, dispels sin,
pacifies the mind, and spreads fame in all directions:
tell me, what does the company of the virtuous not do for men?
