కరువున కడుపు కాల్చినమ్మను యెన్నటికీ మరవను.

This proverb contrasts superficial sympathy with deep, genuine pain. While an outsider (the listener) might feel a momentary or mild annoyance (back burning), only the person directly involved or the parent (the mother) feels the true, excruciating agony (womb burning). It is used to describe situations where bystanders can never truly understand the depth of a victim's suffering.

This expression refers to Hanuman, who burned the city of Lanka but remained humble as a servant of Lord Rama. It is used to describe a person who achieves a massive feat or performs an incredible task but remains modest and attributes the success to their mentor or leader.

This proverb is inspired by the character Hanuman from the Ramayana, who was sent to find Sita but ended up burning Lanka. It is used to describe a situation where someone performs a task far exceeding the original instructions, often in a bold, aggressive, or transformative way. It can be used both as praise for initiative or as a critique for overstepping bounds.

This expression is used to describe a futile or impossible task. It implies that certain actions will never yield the desired or expected result because the nature of the material or situation doesn't allow for it. Just as burning hair produces ash and a foul smell rather than useful charcoal, some efforts are simply a waste of time.

This proverb refers to a person in a desperate or critical situation who starts thinking of numerous solutions or regrets all at once. It is used to describe how someone's mind races with many possibilities or worries only when they are already in deep trouble, rather than planning beforehand.

This proverb contrasts the depth of empathy with biological maternal pain. It means that while a casual observer or neighbor (the one who heard) might feel a superficial or outward sympathy (back burning), only a mother (the one who gave birth) feels the true, deep, internal agony (stomach burning) when a child is in trouble. It is used to describe how a mother's suffering for her children is incomparable to anyone else's.

This phrase is used to give credit to the person who actually performed a task or took a significant action, often used when clarifying roles in a major event or recognizing true bravery and capability.

This proverb is used to describe the instinctual bond between a mother and her child. It implies that even if a mother cannot see her child's suffering or needs with her eyes, she can feel them intuitively in her gut or heart. It is often used to emphasize maternal intuition and the deep, invisible connection of parenthood.

This proverb highlights the profound difference between superficial sympathy and true maternal grief. While an outsider (the one who hears the news) might feel a fleeting pain or 'burn' on the surface (the back), the biological mother (the one who gave birth) feels the intense, internal agony of a 'burning' womb/stomach. It is used to express that only those directly affected by a tragedy can truly understand its depth.

* Det kommer vel der ske skall.

This expression is used when someone exceeds their instructions or limits in a way that causes significant damage or unexpected consequences. It originates from the Ramayana, where Hanuman was sent to find Sita but ended up burning Lanka. In modern usage, it describes someone who does much more than asked, often resulting in overkill or unnecessary destruction.
