Power of Wealth..

पूज्यते यदपूज्योÅपि यदगम्योÅपि गम्यते ।
वन्द्यते यदवन्द्योÅपि स प्रभावो धनस्य च ॥
-पञ्चतन्त्रम्
ಪೂಜ್ಯತೇ ಯದಪೂಜ್ಯೋÅಪಿ ಯದಗಮ್ಯೋÅಪಿ ಗಮ್ಯತೇ |
ವಂದ್ಯತೇ ಯದವಂದ್ಯೋÅಪಿ ಸ ಪ್ರಭಾವೋ ಧನಸ್ಯ ಚ ||
ಕೇವಲ ಧನದ ಪ್ರಭಾವದಿಂದ ಪೂಜ್ಯನಲ್ಲದವನೂ ಪೂಜಿಸಲ್ಪಡುತ್ತಾನೆ, ಜೊತೆಗಾರನಲ್ಲದವನೂ ಕೂಡ ಜೊತೆಗಾರನಾಗುತ್ತಾನೆ, ಅಯೋಗ್ಯನೂ ಕೂಡ ನಮಸ್ಕರಿಸಲ್ಪಡುತ್ತಾನೆ.!!!!
-ಪಂಚತಂತ್ರ
Because of the power of wealth,  a man not deserving of respect is respected, one not fit to be approached is approached, and one not to be saluted is saluted.
-Panchatantra
