నడమంత్రపు దాసరి పొద్దుమానము యెరగడు

This proverb refers to a situation where someone commits a mistake but expects to be forgiven easily with a simple apology or a gesture of respect (Dandam), rather than facing a formal punishment. It is often used when minor errors are dismissed without serious consequences due to the status or the simple nature of the person involved.

This proverb means that only God (or a superior/witness) truly knows the hardships a person undergoes while performing their duties or devotion. It is used to express that one's inner struggles and sincere efforts are hidden from the world but recognized by the divine.

This expression is used to describe someone who has recently acquired wealth, status, or a new belief and flaunts it excessively. It suggests that those who are 'new' to a position often show off more than those who have been in that position for a long time.

This proverb highlights the nature of human basic instincts. It means that when a person is consumed by greed or deep desire, they lose their sense of shame or self-respect to achieve it. Similarly, when a person is truly exhausted and needs sleep, they do not care about the quality of the bed or the comfort of the surroundings; they can sleep anywhere.

When sleep overpowers, comfort is not thought of.

This proverb is used to describe something that remains busy or functional regardless of the external situation. Just as a mortar is used to grind grain even during a famine (to process whatever little food is available), certain people or systems continue their routine or extraction despite the hardships around them.

Some grain or other is always pounded in it. Said of a person who is exempted by his position from the loss which falls upon others, or of one who escapes a general misfortune.

This proverb describes a person who becomes arrogant and haughty after gaining unexpected or sudden wealth. It implies that the person has lost their humility and no longer recognizes their roots or shows respect to others due to their new financial status.

This proverb highlights how basic human instincts and intense emotions override physical circumstances or social norms. When one is starving, the quality of food doesn't matter; when one is exhausted, the comfort of the bed is irrelevant; and when one is in love, they disregard social embarrassment or shyness.

Hunger is the best sauce.

This proverb is used to describe a person who has recently acquired unexpected wealth or power and has become extremely arrogant or prideful as a result. It suggests that such people lose their sense of humility and look down upon others.

This proverb is used to describe the instinctual bond between a mother and her child. It implies that even if a mother cannot see her child's suffering or needs with her eyes, she can feel them intuitively in her gut or heart. It is often used to emphasize maternal intuition and the deep, invisible connection of parenthood.

This proverb describes a person who has recently acquired wealth or power and displays excessive arrogance or lacks the wisdom to handle it. It is used to mock someone who behaves pretentiously or forgets their roots due to sudden prosperity.
