To day's Subhashit.

न  यत्न कोटि शतकैरपि दुष्टः सुधीर्भवति |
किं मर्दितोपि कस्तूर्यां लशुनो  याति सौरभं  ||

Na yatna kotishatakairapi dushtah sudheerbhavati.
kim marditopi kastooryaam sashuno yaati kaurabha.

Na = not. =      Yatna = efforts.   koti = 10 million.    Shatakairapi = shatakai +api,
Shatakai = one hundred.      Api = even (to emphasise)    Dushtah = a wicked person.
Suheerbhavati =  Sudhi + bhavati.     Sudhi = a noble and righteous person.     Bhavati = becomes.
Kim = can        Marditopi = mardit + api.    Mardit = rubbed.     Kastooryaam =  Musk, a serection
from the gland inside a musk deer's stomach, which has got a very sweet smell.   Such deers are found in upper reaches of Himalayas and are poached just to get the 'Kastoori'  i.e. musk.
Lashuna =garlic, known for hit pungent smell.      Yaati = acquires.        Saurabham = sweet smell,fragrance.

i.e.      Even by making millions of attempts a wicked person does not become a noble and righteous person, just like a bulb of garlik even rubbed with 'kastoori' does not become sweet smelling.
