పిసినారి సముద్రానికి పోతే, అరికాలు తేమ కాలేదట.

This expression is used to describe a redundant or futile action. Just as the ocean is the source of all salt and already contains it in abundance, offering salt to it is pointless. It refers to situations where someone tries to give something to a person who already possesses it in vast quantities, or explains something to an absolute expert.

This expression means that it is easy to admire or criticize something complex and dangerous from a safe distance.

This expression describes a futile or insignificant effort. An 'Etamu' (picota) is a traditional tool used to draw water from small wells for irrigation; using such a small tool to try and empty or impact a vast ocean is pointless and ineffective.

This proverb refers to the 'Swati' nakshatram (star constellation).

It is often used to describe situations where a final outcome is inevitable, or to suggest that different approaches will eventually lead to the same conclusion.
