కాపుల జాతకాలు కరణాల కెరుక.

This proverb is used to indicate that there is no need to explain or describe something to someone who is already intimately familiar with it. Just as a maternal uncle knows everything about his own sister's home (his childhood home), an expert or an insider does not need a briefing on their own domain.

This is a sarcastic expression used to describe people who are timid, cowardly, or lack any real substance. Just as a coriander seed is easily crushed or lacks strength, this phrase refers to someone who retreats easily or has no 'spine' or courage.

This proverb is used to say that the internal matters, struggles, or hidden secrets of a family are known only to the family members and the Almighty.

This proverb is used to convey that a person's secrets, hidden traits, or internal struggles are best known only to themselves or to those within their own group.

The Hindus believe that a snake has feet, though they are invisible. A man knows his own business best.

This proverb describes a relationship where two parties know each other's secrets, habits, and history intimately because they spend all their time together.

This proverb implies that the true needs or struggles of a person are only understood by those who are directly responsible for them or those who have to bear the burden.

This proverb is used to indicate that the inner secrets, hidden flaws, or true nature of a situation or a person are known only to God or those very closely involved. It is often used when someone maintains a respectable outward appearance despite having hidden troubles or secrets.

This proverb is used to criticize someone who is incompetent at their designated professional task but very efficient at consuming resources or taking benefits.
