Today's Subhashita.

असंवृताकारतया भिन्नमन्त्रस्य भूपतेः  |
सकृच्छिद्रघटस्येव  न तिष्ठ्त्युदयोदकं  ||

अर्थ -     हे  राजन्  !    जिस प्रकार अनेक छिद्रों वाले घडे में  भरा हुआ जल
नहीं टिक   सकता है , उसी प्रकार एक विश्वासघाती व्यक्ति से असुरक्षित व्यक्ति
की आय और संपन्नता भी शीघ्र ही नष्ट हो जाती है |

Asamvrutaakaaratayaa Bhinnamantrasya bhoopateh.
Sakrucchidraghatasyeva na tishthatyudayodakam.

Asamvrutaakaaratayaa =asamvruta+aakaara+tayaa.         Asamvruta =
an unprotected person.      Aakaara= external appearance.      Taya =by.
Bhinnamantra = a person who has betrayed a plan or leaked a secret.
Bhoopateh =   O King !     Sakrucchidraghatesyeva = sakrut + chidra+
ghatasya +iva.         Sakrut = at once,  forthwith.         Chidra= a hole.      
Ghatasya = a pitcher's.      Iva = like.   Na = not.    Tishthatyudayodakam =
Tishthati +udaya+ udakam.     Tishthati = stays.       Udaya =  prosperity,
income.          Udakam = water.

i.e.        O King !   just as water filled in an earthen pitcher with many holes can
not stay in it for long, in the same manner the income and prosperity of a person
also does not stay with him if he is unprotected from a person betraying the trust
placed on him.
