This proverb describes a situation where someone completely fails to understand the purpose or value of something, often due to their own limitations. Instead of realizing the conch is for sound, the deaf man assumes it is a hard object meant to be eaten/bitten. It is used to mock people who give irrelevant or foolish responses to things they don't comprehend.

Sharing the sufferings of others.

This expression is used to question a person's priorities or motives when they seem more interested in superficial benefits (like food) rather than the primary purpose or spiritual significance of an event (like receiving holy water at a temple).

It is used when someone's speed in doing a task is not matched by their common sense or quality of work.

This proverb describes a person who, having overstepped boundaries or been overly familiar with one person, attempts to do the same with an even more senior or respected elder.
