ముదురున వేసిన పైరు, ముదిమిని పుట్టిన కొడుకు.

This proverb is equivalent to 'As you sow, so shall you reap.' It signifies that the results or outcomes of any endeavor are directly proportional to the effort, quality, and preparation invested in it. It is used to remind someone that their success is a reflection of their own hard work.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where things are perfectly timed or well-suited for a specific purpose. Just as young cattle have the strength and appetite to graze, and a mature crop is ready to be harvested or consumed, it signifies an ideal state of readiness or a favorable coincidence where resources meet the need.

This proverb refers to things that are wasted or pointless. Just as moonlight in a dense uninhabited forest is of no use to anyone, getting married in extreme old age serves no practical purpose or joy. It is used to describe efforts or resources spent where they cannot be enjoyed or utilized.

This proverb highlights the importance of timing. Just as the Mrigashira rain is considered the most auspicious for starting agriculture, a son born when the father is young and capable is considered beneficial for the family's strength and continuity.

This expression is used to describe something that has existed since the very beginning or has been a tradition since time immemorial. It signifies that a practice or an event is as old as the foundation of the place or community itself.

This proverb highlights the importance of timing and maturity.

This is a traditional agricultural proverb. It means that crops (like paddy) yield better when they are fully matured and ripe, whereas livestock or cattle are most productive and useful when they are young and energetic. It highlights the ideal states for different assets in farming.
