Today's Subhashita.

अमृतं शिशिरे वह्निरमृतं  क्षीरभोजनं  |
अमृतं गुणवद्भार्या  अमृतं  बालभाषितं  ||

अर्थ -     शीत ऋतु में आग तापना तथा दूध से बने हुए पदार्थों
का सेवन करना अमृत के समान आनन्द दायक और गुणकारी
होता है और ऐसे ही गुणवान पत्नी का साथ और एक शिशु की
तोतली बोली भी अमृततुल्य  होती है |

Amrutam shishire vahniramrutam ksheerabhojanam.
Amrutam gunavadbhaaryaa amrutam  baalabhaashitam.

Amrutam = the nectar of immortality (for details please
search - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/samudra_manthan ) used
metaphorically to denote  anything sweet,pleasing or beautiful.
Shishira = winter season.   Vahniramrutam = vahnih +
amrutam.    Vahnih = fire.     Ksheerabhojanam =ksheera+
bhojanam.    Ksheera = milk.    Bhojanam = food.
Gunavadbhaarya = gunavt +bhaaryaa.   Gunavat =virtuous.
Bhaaryaa = wife.    Baala = child.   Bhaashitam = utterance.
Baalabhaashitam = sweet stuttering utterances of a child.

i.e.      Sitting before a bonfire and consuming food products
made out of milk is blissful like having 'Amruta' the nectar of
immortality, and so also is having a virtuous wife and listening
to sweet stuttering utterances of a small child.
