सुभाषितम्

दुर्जनः प्रकृतिं याति सेव्यमानोऽपि यत्नतः।

Sanskrit Proverb on Humor
Sanskrit

दुर्जनः प्रकृतिं याति सेव्यमानोऽपि यत्नतः।
स्वदेन-अभ्यञ्जनोपायैः श्वपुच्छम् इव नामितम्॥

durjanaḥ prakṛtiṃ yāti sevyamāno’pi yatnataḥ।
svadena-abhyañjanopāyaiḥ śvapuccham iva nāmitam॥

Meaning in English

Even if the wicked serves a person with a lot of effort, he still behaves according to his original nature. His evil nature never subsides. The way, bathing the dog’s tail with hot water, applying oil and trying to straighten the tail, no matter how much you try, the dog’s tail still remains crooked.

भावार्थ

दुर्जन व्यक्ति की यदि बहुत प्रयास करके सेवा करते हैं, तब भी वह अपने मूल स्वभाव के अनुसार ही व्यवहार करता है। उसका दुष्ट स्वभाव कभी कम नहीं होता। कुत्ते की पूँछ को गरम पानी से नहलाएँगे, तेल लगाएँगे और पूँछ को सीधा करने की कितनी भी कोशिश करेंगे, फिर भी कुत्ते की पूँछ टेढ़ी ही रहती है।
