మహారాజు పెంటదింటే మందుకు, పేదవాడు తింటే కూడులేక అన్నట్లు.

This proverb highlights the importance of organic waste and manure in agriculture. It means that as a farmer accumulates more organic waste/manure (pentakuppa), the fertility of the land increases, leading to better yields and eventually making the farmer wealthy and successful. It emphasizes that hard work and the collection of resources, even those considered lowly, lead to prosperity.

This proverb is used to illustrate that secondary or supplemental things cannot replace the essential ones. Just as a side dish (curry) cannot satisfy hunger without the main staple (rice), accessories or minor improvements cannot compensate for the lack of a fundamental requirement.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where one person expects another to bear the burden or follow the rules for a benefit they themselves seek. It highlights the absurdity of expecting results without personal effort or sacrifice, or shifting one's responsibilities onto others.

This expression points out social hypocrisy or double standards. It suggests that the same action is judged differently based on the status or age of the person performing it.
