Today's Subhashita.

काकः श्वानोSकुलीनश्च बिडालः सर्प एव च |
अकुलीना च या नारी तुल्यास्ते परिकीर्तिताः ||

अर्थ -       कहा जाता है कि एक कव्वा , दोगली नस्ल का कुत्ता , बिल्ला , सांप , तथा किसी निम्न सामाजिक स्तर  की स्त्री, इन सभी के व्यवहार  में समानता होती है क्यों कि  दूसरों के  प्रति उनका व्यवहार व्यवहार सदैव अप्रत्याशित होता है |

Kaakh shwaanokuleenashcha bidalah  sarpa eva cha.
Akuleenaa cha yaa naaree tulyaaste parikeertitaa.

Kaaka = a crow.     Shwaana = a dog.      Akuleena = not belonging to a good family.
Bidaal. + a cat (he).   Sarp = a snake.     Eva = really.    Cha = and.     Naaree = a woman.
Tulyaaste = tulya + aste.    Tulya = similar, comparable.    Aste = are.   Parikeertita = called, proclaimed.

i.e.      It is commonly perceived that  a crow, a dog without any pedigree (a  mongrel) , a (he) cat, a snake,
and a woman not belonging to a good and righteous family, are comparable in their behaviour, which is always unpredictable.
