सन्तप्तायसि संस्थितस्य पयसो नामाऽपि न श्रूयते
मुक्ता कारतया तदेव नलिनीपत्र स्थितं दृश्यते ।
अन्तः सागर शुक्ति मध्य पतितं तन्मौक्तिकं जायते
प्रायेणाधम मध्यमोत्तम जुषां एवंविधा वृत्तयः ॥

Meaning:
When a drop of water falls on heated iron, it disappears immediately, whereas if it happens to fall upon a lotus leaf, it appears like a pearl and the same thing turns into a pearl if it chances to drop into the mouth of an oyster during the swathi constellation. Thus the company (bad, mediocre or good) in which a person moves and lives determine his future.
