This proverb is used to describe a stingy or hypocritical attitude where people donate or give away only useless, damaged, or spoiled items to others (traditionally referring to priests in this context) while keeping the good ones for themselves.

This is an agricultural proverb (sameta) referring to the 'Hasta Karthe' (a specific solar mansion in the Hindu calendar).

This proverb is used to describe things that look attractive or attainable but are actually illusory or impossible to reach. It signifies that some things can only be seen or imagined but never truly possessed, much like a reflection in a mirror.
