नलिकागतम् अपि कुटिलं न भवति सरलं शुनःपृच्छम्।
तद्वत् खलहृदयं बोधितम् अपि न एव याति माधुर्यम्॥
nalikāgatam api kuṭilaṃ na bhavati saralaṃ śunaḥpṛccham।
tadvat khalahṛdayaṃ bodhitam api na eva yāti mādhuryam॥
Trying to straighten a dog’s tail is of no use, irrespective of whatever measures one tries. Similarly, trying to put some sense in a bad person does not have any impact. The person continues to have bad thoughts about others.
कुत्ते की पूँछ नली में डालकर रखेंगे तब भी नली निकालने के बाद पूँछ टेढ़ी ही रहती है, सीधी नहीं होती। उसी प्रकार से दुष्ट व्यक्ति या दुर्जन को कितना भी उपदेश देंगे, फिर भी उसके हृदय से कटुभावना नहीं जाती।
