To day's Subhashit.

दुर्जनदूषितमनसां पुंसां सुजनेप्य विश्वासः
बालः पायसदग्धो दध्यापि फूत्कृत्य भक्षति .

Durjandooshitmanasaam punsaam sujanepya vishwashh.
Baalh paayasdagdho dadhyapi phootkrutya bhakshati.

i.e.    A person cheated by a wicked person does not have faith even in noble persons, just as a child having burnt his mouth while eating piping hot milk pudding, next time while eating curd (yoghourt) takes extra precaution of cooling it by blowing over it through his mouth.

Durjan = wicked person.      Dooshit = polluted.      Mansaam = mind.       Pumsaam = person(s).
Sujanepya =  (sujan + api).     Sujan = noble person/.      Api =  not even,  doubts about.
Vishwaas = faith.           Baalah = a child.          Payas = milk pudding.      Dagdho = burnt by.
Dadhyaapi =  even the curd.         Phootkrutya =  the process of cooling a thing by blowing wind over it by using one's mouth.        Bhakshati = eats.

(There is a proverb in Hindi as  'दूध का जला छाछ भी फूक फूक कर पीता है ' (doodh ka jala chhachh bhi phoonk phoonk kar peeta hai ) which has a similar meaning.  Buttermilk is called 'chhaachh' in Hindi.
