i.e. Even if a lemon tree is watered with honey, a snake is fed with milk, and a mean and crooked person is bathed in the sacred river Ganges, all these three do not shed their inherent nature. (The lemon tree will not bear sweet fruits, the snake will continue to remain poisonous and the crook will not become a noble person.)
Madhu = honey Nimbakhandam = a Lemon tree. Dudha= milk. Pushtam = fed with
Ganga = the river Ganges, considered very auspicious and capable of washing away sins of a person.
Snatopi = on being bathed. Durjan = a mean and crooked person.
Swabhava = inherent nature. Naiwa = not . Munchate = sheds, discards.
