పైరు పలుచనైతే పాతళ్ళు నిండుతవి, మెండైతే వాములు దండి

This expression means that when plants (or any tasks/resources) are overcrowded or excessive in number, they lack the space and nutrients to grow properly, eventually leading to failure. It is used to suggest that quantity does not guarantee quality or results, and that 'too much of a good thing' can be counterproductive.

This is a traditional agricultural proverb related to harvesting. It means that when a crop grows densely (thickly), it results in a large quantity of fodder/straw that needs to be stacked as 'vamulu' (haystacks). Conversely, if the yield is thin or sparse, the grain or produce is just enough to be stored in 'pathara' (underground storage pits). It is used to describe the relationship between the density of a crop and the resulting storage requirements.

This is an agricultural proverb related to paddy cultivation. It suggests that when storing grain in underground pits (pathallu), it should be spread thinly to prevent spoilage or heat. Conversely, when stacking hay (vamulu), it should be packed tightly and thickly to ensure stability and space efficiency. It is used to describe the principle of doing the right thing in the right way according to the context.

This proverb is used to indicate that small, insignificant efforts or resources are insufficient to achieve a large or monumental task. It suggests that major goals require substantial action rather than just minor attempts.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where fewer people sharing a limited resource results in a larger or better portion for each individual. It is often used in a sarcastic or cynical context to suggest that having fewer people around (or less competition) is beneficial for personal gain.

This proverb implies that when resources or ingredients are abundant and of high quality, the final result or output will be even more plentiful. It is used to describe situations where a strong foundation naturally leads to an overflowing or excellent outcome.

This is an agricultural proverb implying that crops planted with proper spacing (thinly) yield better results than those planted too densely. It is used to convey that quality and proper management are more important than sheer quantity or overcrowding for a successful outcome.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where a minor asset or quality appears significant only because the primary or fundamental aspects are lacking. It highlights how relativity can make small things seem disproportionately large when compared to something even smaller or weaker.

This is a traditional agricultural proverb used to explain optimal spacing in farming. It suggests that if seeds are sown too densely (represented by seven seeds fitting into the small space of a hoof print), the resulting plants will be overcrowded, leading to a poor or 'thin' yield. It emphasizes the importance of proper seed distribution for a healthy harvest.

This proverb describes double standards and hypocrisy. It refers to people who are very demanding, critical, or stingy when dealing with others' resources or problems, but become extremely sensitive, protective, or exaggerating when it involves their own property or effort.
