మగవాడు తిరుగక చెడును, ఆడది తిరిగి చెడును.

This proverb highlights the importance of staying true to one's role. A farmer must stay on his land to tend to crops; if he wanders away, his farm fails. Conversely, a monk (Bairagi) is meant to travel and seek spiritual truth; if he settles in one place, he becomes entangled in worldly attachments and loses his purpose.

This traditional proverb suggests that a woman's reputation or household duties suffer if she is constantly wandering away from home, whereas a man's livelihood or success suffers if he remains idle at home and does not go out to work or explore opportunities.

This proverb highlights how different lifestyles require different behaviors to maintain integrity. For a householder (Samsari), constant travel or wandering leads to the neglect of family and responsibilities, leading to ruin. Conversely, a monk (Sanyasi) is expected to wander and preach; if he settles in one place for too long, he may develop worldly attachments or laziness, which ruins his spiritual path.

This proverb suggests that a manipulative or overly clever person causes damage in multiple ways or more extensively than a straightforward person. It is used to warn others about the deceptive nature of 'gadusu' (cunning/shrewd) individuals whose actions have far-reaching negative consequences.

This proverb highlights how internal conflicts and constant bickering between family members or partners lead to the downfall of a household.

This traditional proverb highlights gender-based social roles of the past. It suggests that a woman who constantly roams outside her home loses her reputation or neglects her household, whereas a man who stays idle at home and does not venture out to work or explore the world fails to provide and remains ignorant. It is used to emphasize the importance of balance and fulfilling one's responsibilities.

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 proverb warns against the dangers of reckless financial behavior and overconfidence. It compares taking excessive loans to the fatal mistake of letting go of a branch while high up in a tree; both actions lead to certain downfall. It is used to advise people to live within their means and avoid risky situations created by their own negligence.

This proverb highlights the contrasting responsibilities of different lifestyles. A householder (Samsari) loses focus on family and livelihood if they wander aimlessly. Conversely, an ascetic (Sanyasi) becomes stagnant, overly attached, or burdensome to a single community if they do not travel to spread knowledge and maintain detachment.

This traditional proverb suggests that a woman's reputation or household suffers if she wanders aimlessly outside, while a man fails in life if he stays idle at home without going out to seek opportunities, work, or social connections.
