asadi kutalaku arthamu ledu, guddi kantiki chupu ledu
The shouts of an Asadi have no meaning, and a blind eye has no sight.
This proverb is used to describe speech or actions that are completely nonsensical or useless. Just as it is impossible for a blind eye to see, it implies that certain talk (historically referring to the loud, rhythmic, but sometimes unintelligible chanting of the Asadi folk performers) lacks substance or logic. It is used to dismiss someone's words as noise without value.
