સદગુણ ચુંદડીના સર્વથા, જીભે ઉચર્યા ન જાય; લખતાં પણ ન લખાય, ઓઢી ચળકતી ચુંદડી.
— Dalpatram
Meaning

The chunari's full virtues cannot be expressed by the tongue, nor can they be written down, when one wears the radiant chunari.

Explanation

This beautiful couplet tells us that true virtues are something profound, like a shimmering, radiant garment. They are so vast and brilliant that you cannot fully describe them with mere words, whether you try to speak them or write them down. Their real beauty and essence aren't found in explanations or descriptions. Instead, to truly understand and appreciate the splendor of these good qualities, you must actually live them, embody them in your actions and character. Only by wearing this 'chunari of virtues' yourself can you experience its true radiance and brilliance.
