ఆడశోకం, మగరాగం ఒకటే.

This is a traditional agricultural proverb related to the lunar mansions (Nakshatras). It means that if it rains during the Hasta and Chitta periods (usually late September to mid-October), the soil becomes so fertile and the water supply so abundant that crops will flourish anywhere, metaphorically even on a palanquin (Andalam). It highlights the critical importance of these specific seasonal rains for a successful harvest.

This proverb highlights that certain situations are inherently problematic and difficult to manage. Just as shared farming leads to disputes over labor and yield, having two wives in one household traditionally leads to constant domestic conflict and lack of peace.

This expression is used to describe something that is incomplete or lacks its most essential element. Just as dry ginger is the core medicinal ingredient in an Ayurvedic decoction, and Karna is a pivotal, indispensable character in the Mahabharata, a project or situation lacks its true essence or effectiveness without a key component or person.

This proverb describes a situation where a person has lost their respect or status to such an extent that their location or surroundings no longer matter. It is used to point out that once a person's reputation is ruined or they have become shameless, they will be treated with the same indifference or contempt everywhere.

This proverb is used to describe a person who is completely useless or ineffective. It implies that their presence provides no benefit, and their absence makes no difference, much like a decorative figure or a person with no initiative.

This expression is used to describe a situation where the solution provided does not match the problem at hand. It refers to irrelevant actions, wrong remedies, or addressing a completely different issue instead of the actual cause of a problem.

This expression is used to describe a person who has an expressionless or naturally unpleasant face such that you cannot distinguish their emotions. It is also used to refer to a situation or a person's reaction that remains indifferent or unchanged regardless of the circumstances.

This expression refers to grief or sorrow that is artificial, short-lived, or disproportionate to the actual loss. In traditional contexts, it suggests that the mourning for an adopted child might not be as deep or lasting as the mourning for a biological child. It is used to describe someone who is overacting or pretending to be deeply affected by a situation that doesn't truly concern them or shouldn't cause such intense sorrow.

This proverb highlights the destructive nature of financial debt, comparing it to a battlefield. Just as war brings anxiety, struggle, and potential ruin, being in debt creates constant stress and can destroy one's peace of mind and livelihood.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where two people are in their own separate worlds, each preoccupied with their own specific habits, luxuries, or problems without any coordination. It is often applied to a household or a group where there is a lack of unity and everyone acts according to their own whims.
