జ్యేష్ట చెడకురియును, మూల మురుగ కురియును.

This is a traditional agricultural proverb referring to the 'Ashlesha Karthe' (a period in the lunar calendar). It suggests that during this specific period, the monsoon loses its peak intensity and behaves like an old person—slow and intermittent—resulting in frequent but light drizzling rather than heavy downpours.

This proverb means that we only appreciate the comfort or value of something after experiencing the hardship of its absence. Just as one understands the comfort of shade only after walking in the scorching sun, one appreciates good times only after facing difficulties.

This is an agricultural proverb related to the rain cycles (Karti). It suggests that rainfall during the 'Chitta Karte' (a specific lunar mansion/period usually in late September or October) is crucial and highly beneficial for the yield of tamarind trees and overall crop prosperity.

This proverb is used to say that a person of loose character or someone pretending to be someone they are not cannot understand or appreciate the values, discipline, and conduct of a righteous or virtuous person.

This is an agricultural proverb highlighting the resilience of horse gram (ulavalu). It implies that with even a tiny amount of soil moisture, horse gram can survive and yield a harvest even when sown during the late or less favorable Moola Karthi season. It is used to describe things that are highly resilient or require very little to succeed.

This is a traditional agricultural proverb related to the Mrigashira Karthe (a specific astronomical period in June). It signifies that the first rains of this season are so rejuvenating for the land and the ecosystem that even an old, weak ox finds the strength and energy to rejoice and prepare for the upcoming farming season. It highlights the vital importance of these specific rains for agriculture.

This expression is used to describe an action that is done at the completely wrong time or season, leading to inevitable failure. In traditional agriculture, horse gram must be sown during specific lunar mansions (nakshatras); sowing them during Moola or Jyeshtha is considered futile as they will not yield a harvest.

This is a traditional agricultural saying based on the 'Kartis' (seasonal stars). It implies that heavy rains during the Moola Karti can cause flooding or 'drown' the crops, while rains during Jyeshtha Karti can ruin or spoil the harvest quality. It is used to describe the impact of seasonal rainfall on farming.

This traditional proverb suggests that a woman's reputation or character may suffer if she spends too much time outside her home (reflecting historical social norms), whereas a man's prospects and knowledge suffer if he stays confined at home and doesn't venture out to explore, network, or work.

This is a traditional agricultural and weather-related proverb. It refers to the 'Moola' and 'Jyeshta' Kartis (solar mansions). It implies that heavy rains during the Moola Karti can cause flooding or damage crops (sinking them), while the subsequent Jyeshta Karti brings weather conditions that help the crops recover or 'float'. It is used to describe the cyclical nature of challenges and recovery in farming.
