दुर्जनः प्रियवादी च नैतद्विश्वास कारणं
मधु तिष्टति जिह्वाग्रे हृदि हालाहलं विषं
Durjanah Priyavaadi Cha Naitad-vishwas-kaaranam,
Madhu Tishthati Jihwaagre Hridi Halaahalam Visham.
Durjan = wicked person. Priyavaadi = a flatterer, soft-spoken person. Naitadvishvaas = na + etad+vishvaas.
Na = not. Etad = their. Vishvaas = inspiring confidence, reliance upon. Kaaranam = cause, reason.
Madhu = honey. Tishthati = stays. Jihvaagre=- Jihvaa+agre. Jihvaa = toung. Agre = ahead, tip.
Jihvaagra = tip of the tounge. Hrudi = heart. Haalaahalam = the name of the most potent poison mentioned in Hindu mythology. Visham = poison.
( During the process of churning of the ocean many objects were produced, among which were "Amrita" - the necter making a person immortal, and 'Halaahal' - the most potent poison.To save the humanity Lord Shiva drank that poison, as a result of which his throat became blue in colour. One of the names of Lord Shiva is, therefore,Neelkahth - the God with a blue throat.)
i.e. One should never trust a wicked and cunning person even if he behaves politely and is very soft-spoken, as if his tongue is dipped in honey, because by nature he is very malicious and revels in harming others, as if his heart is full of poison.
