పెన్న రావడం వెన్న కరిగేలోపల.

This proverb emphasizes that nothing can be achieved without effort. Just as one must crook their finger to scoop butter out of a pot, one must work hard and be resourceful to gain results. It is used to motivate someone who is being lazy or expecting rewards without labor.

This expression refers to precocity or someone who acts or talks with maturity beyond their actual age. It is often used to describe children who speak like adults or display premature wisdom, sometimes with a slightly negative connotation of being 'too smart for their own good.'

This proverb is used to describe a situation where someone expects an unrealistic or impossible transformation from something ordinary. It highlights that no matter how much you try to decorate or improve something basic/inferior with a small addition, its fundamental nature does not change into something celestial or grand. It is often used to mock false pretenses or illogical expectations.

This proverb means that the quality or quantity of the final output depends entirely on the input or the effort invested. Just as the amount of clarified butter (ghee) produced depends on how much butter you start with, the results of a task are determined by the resources or merit available.

It is said that a shouting man does not harm really. It is not necessary to take the loud threats of one seriously, because one may not really be able to carry out one’s threats.
