ఇది ఇట్లా, మొగుడట్లా, సేద్యగాడికి సంకటెట్లా

This expression is used to describe a situation where there is excessive, chaotic, or nonsensical noise where it is difficult to distinguish who is speaking or what is being said. It often refers to a group of people all talking or shouting at once, creating a cacophony where no clear meaning can be derived, much like the rhythmic but loud thumping of wooden tools.

This proverb emphasizes the importance of resources and preparation over sheer skill or effort. It suggests that with the right tools or support (fertilizer/manure), even someone without much expertise (the fool) can achieve success in their task (farming).

This proverb humorously suggests that begging is a more reliable or easier way to survive than farming.

It is often used to comment on people who prefer dependency or easy paths over hard labor.

This is an agricultural proverb related to the lunar asterisms (Kartelu). It suggests that heavy rains during the Magha and Pubba periods are detrimental to crops.

This is a sarcastic and satirical proverb used to describe a person who is so burdened by debt and incompetence that they are useless to their dependents.

It highlights a state of complete hopelessness in a partnership or leadership.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where the accompaniment or the preparation is far more expensive or superior than the main dish itself. It highlights a lack of proportion or an unnecessary extravagance on something of low value.

This is an agricultural proverb highlighting the importance of weeding and inter-cultivation. It suggests that removing weeds with a 'papatam' (a specific farm tool) benefits the soil and crop growth as much as plowing the field ten times, as it loosens the soil and eliminates competition for nutrients.

This proverb emphasizes the fundamental importance of agriculture and the farmer's role in society. It suggests that regardless of one's education, status, or intellectual achievements, everyone is ultimately dependent on the hard work of the farmer for their basic survival.
