మూడు జన్మాల సంగతి చెప్పగలను; పూర్వ జన్మమునందు ఇచ్చి పెట్టుకోలేదు గనుక ఈ జన్మమునందు దేవుడు నాకు ఇవ్వలేదు, ఈ జన్మాన ఒకరికి ఇవ్వలేను గనుక ముందు జన్మకు నాకు ఏమీ లేదు.

Applied to a stupid person not doing what he is told.

This expression highlights the irony of human existence, where most of a person's life is spent working relentlessly just to fulfill basic survival needs like food, even though the human stomach is physically very small.
