English meaning

Excessive familiarity breeds contempt, going repeatedly (to someone else's house) causes disrespect. On the Malaya mountain, the tribal housewife uses sandalwood as fuel!



Familiarity breeds contempt. The bhil woman has no knowledge of the real world value of sandalwood, but she sees it as ready source of fuel wood. She sees the sandalwood so often so she has no appreciation of its qualities, anymore.
