పెడదారికి పెద్దరోగానికి మందులేదు

This proverb is used to describe a situation where basic or primary needs are ignored, yet secondary or grand plans are being made. It highlights the irony of neglecting the most important task while focusing on something less urgent or impossible given the current circumstances.

This expression is used to convey that while illnesses can be cured with medicine, death is inevitable when a person's natural time or lifespan comes to an end. It highlights the limitations of medical science against the natural cycle of life and destiny.

This proverb highlights the inevitability of certain outcomes. Just as a ram (often sacrificial) cannot escape its fate once it falls ill, or as one cannot avoid the comforts/fortunes destined for them, some situations are unavoidable and irreversible once they set in motion. It is used to describe certainties or fated events.

This expression is used to describe a situation where someone overreacts or provides an excessive, disproportionate solution to a very minor or short-lived problem. It highlights the lack of balance between the magnitude of the issue and the intensity of the response.

This expression emphasizes that solutions must be specific to the problem at hand to be effective. It is used to convey that generic efforts are useless unless they directly address the root cause or the specific requirements of a situation.

This expression highlights the futility of worrying or intervening in certain situations. It suggests that if a problem will resolve on its own, intervention is unnecessary; if a problem is incurable or inevitable, intervention is useless. It is used to describe situations where one should accept the outcome rather than struggling in vain.

This proverb means that some things are permanent and cannot be changed. Just as medical treatment cannot restore sight to a blind eye, no amount of advice or medicine can change a person's inherent nature or character flaws. It is used when someone refuses to change their bad habits despite many warnings.

This proverb highlights the transient nature of power and social status. It suggests that authority and leadership are only relevant while a person is alive and present in society; once deceased, their worldly influence vanishes and they belong only to the graveyard.

This proverb highlights the insatiable nature of three things: illnesses that can keep occurring, melodies or attachments (raga) that can be endless, and the pursuit of luxury or pleasure (bhoga) which never feels sufficient. It is used to suggest that one should practice moderation and detachment because these three aspects of life have no natural stopping point.

This expression is used to remind others that being economically disadvantaged or lacking wealth does not mean a person lacks self-respect, dignity, or cultural identity. It suggests that poverty affects one's physical needs, but should not diminish their social standing or the respect they deserve.
