Aashavalambopachitaankasya = Aasha +avalambo +pachitaani +kasya.     Asha = hope,expectation.
Avalamb = dependence.    Pachitaana = able to digest, results in completion or perfection.
Kasya = whose.     Trushnalataanarthphalam = Trushna +lata +anartha +phalam.    Trushna = excessive
desire for any thing.    Lata = a vine, a creeping and winding plant.    Anarth = disastrous, harmful.
Phalam = fruits.        Prasoote =  produces.         Dinedine = day by day,  every day.
labdhruchirvivasvaanmeenam = Labdh + ruchi+Vivaswaan + Meenam.    Labdha =received, found.
Ruchi = taste, desire       Vivaswan = Sun.  Meenam = fish.    Cha = also.     Mesham =  a sheep.
Vrusham = a bull.       Bhunkte = suffer, governed by.
(Here the reference to Sun,  fish, sheep and a bull is for the different signs of  Zodiac i.e.Leo, Pisces, Aries, and Taurus.)

i.e.    A person who is totally dependent on hope for completion of a task, is not able to digest the end result, because the creeper of 'Trushna' (another name for 'Aasha') produces only the fruits of disaster. The person who does this day by day becomes more and more dependent on the position of Leo,Pisces, Aries and Taurus in his Horoscope with disastrous consequences..

(In this Subhashit the author has compared 'Trushna' to a creeper, which produces only disaster as its fruits. Those persons,who instead of depending more on their own sincere efforts,  depend more on the advice of Astrologers and the position of various stars in their Horoscope, with disastrous consequences.)
