To day's Subhashit.

वृथा वृष्टिः  समुद्रेषु वृथा तृप्तेषु भोजनम्  |
वृथा दाने धनाधनाढ्येषु वृथा दीपो दिवाSपि  च  ||

Vruthaa vrishtih samudreshu vruthaa trupteshu bhojanam.
vruthaa daane dhanaaDhyeshu vrruthaa deepo divaapi cha.

Vruthaa = futile,useless, producing no result.       Vrushti = rain.      Samudra = ocean.
Samudreshu = over the ocean.     Trupta = satiated.      Trupteshu = to a satiated person (whose stomach is already full).       Bhojanam = food.       Daane = donation, giving away as charity.
DhanaaDhyeshu = ro a rich person.       Deepo = a lamp.      Divaapi =   divaa + Api.
Divaa  = day time.    Api = even (to express emphasis), also.     Cha = and.

i.e.  Rain over the ocean is futile, so also providing food to a satiated person (whose stomach is already full) is useless.  Giving donation to a rich person and even lighting a lamp during day time is also of no use..
