This proverb is used to describe something that has become defiled, corrupted, or spoiled to the point of being useless.

It describes a situation where people exaggerate the mistakes of others (the daughter-in-law's mistake is seen as destroying something brand new) while making excuses for their own or their favorites' mistakes (the mother-in-law's broken pot is dismissed as having been old and already broken). It is used to point out unfair bias and blame-shifting.

This expression is used to describe an impossible or useless task. Just as a blind person can use a walking stick to find their way, there is some utility provided; however, playing loud ceremonial drums (Veeranams) for a deaf person is entirely pointless as they cannot experience it.
