మాఘమాసములో మ్రాకులు సైతం వణుకును

This expression is used to indicate that a woman is in the advanced stages of pregnancy, literally meaning that several months of the pregnancy have passed and she is nearing full term.

This expression is used to describe a situation where someone is forced to do something against their will, or when an action is performed out of obligation rather than genuine interest. In the cold month of Magha, taking a ritual bath in a river is considered virtuous but difficult; doing it solely because of external pressure is the essence of this phrase.

This proverb is used to describe the extreme intensity of the winter cold during the Telugu month of 'Magha' (January-February). It suggests that the chill is so deep-seated that even proximity to a bonfire doesn't provide sufficient relief, often used metaphorically to describe a situation where regular solutions are insufficient for a severe problem.

This proverb describes something that is useless or lacks protection and purpose. Rain during the Hindu month of Magha (late winter) is considered untimely and harmful to crops rather than beneficial. Similarly, the expression historically used the metaphor of a woman without a protector to signify a vulnerable or directionless situation. It is used to describe events that occur at the wrong time and bring more trouble than help.

This expression is used to describe a person who is habitually lazy, slow, or procrastinating. It suggests that such lethargic behavior is an inherent quality of their nature, often used to remark on someone who takes an excessively long time to complete a task or refuses to act quickly.

This expression is used to describe someone who waits for the perfect, trouble-free moment to start a task, which never actually comes. It highlights the futility of waiting for all problems to disappear before taking action, as challenges are a natural part of any process, just as waves are inherent to the sea.

This proverb is used to describe someone with an incredibly large or gluttonous appetite. It humorously suggests that their eating habits are so extreme that they would even startle a powerful deity like Ankalamma (known for her fierce nature).

This expression is used to convey that people will always find something to gossip about or criticize, regardless of what one does. Just as crows caw incessantly, society often engages in relentless talk or judgment. It is used to advise someone to ignore public opinion or gossip.

This is a traditional agricultural observation or proverb related to weather patterns. It suggests that if clouds appear during the lunar month of Margasira (usually occurring in Nov-Dec), it is a precursor to rainfall in the month of Magha (Jan-Feb). It is used to describe predictable seasonal cycles or the relationship between specific weather signs and their eventual outcomes.

This expression is used to describe an action that is redundant, useless, or has no significant impact because it is being added to something that is already vast or abundant. Just as rain does not change the level of the sea, a small contribution or help given to someone who already has everything is considered pointless.
