రాజు వలచిన రంభ, రాజు విడిచిన తుంబ

This proverb describes actions that lack a practical foundation or logic. 'Nela vidichina samu' refers to practicing martial arts while jumping off the ground (losing balance/foundation), and 'mati vidichina mata' refers to speaking without thinking. It is used to criticize someone who ignores reality, lacks common sense, or makes impractical plans.

This proverb is used to describe a mismatch in a couple's appearance, specifically when the husband is unattractive or uncouth while the wife is exceptionally beautiful and graceful. It highlights a stark contrast in personality or physical traits within a partnership.

This proverb is used to describe things that are particularly harsh, intense, or uncontrollable. Just as the sun feels much hotter and more piercing immediately after a cloud cover passes, it is traditionally suggested that a woman who has lost her husband's protection or social restraint might act with fierce independence or unchecked intensity. It is often used to remark on the stinging nature of a situation or a person's sharp behavior.

This proverb describes four things that are difficult to manage or have unpleasant consequences. The sunlight after a cloud cover is often very intense; a woman abandoned by her husband faces social hardship; a bent branch that is released snaps back with force; and a pot that is dropped breaks beyond repair. It is used to highlight situations that are intense, uncontrollable, or final.

This expression highlights the loss of support systems and identity. Just as a bird loses its natural habitat and protection when it leaves the forest, a human being who isolates themselves from society or is abandoned by their community loses their strength, social security, and purpose. It is used to emphasize the importance of social bonds and staying connected to one's roots.

This proverb lists four things that become intense or volatile due to sudden change or release. 1. The sun feels much hotter immediately after clouds clear. 2. A woman abandoned may become sharp-tongued or fierce due to social hardship. 3. A branch that is pulled and let go snaps back with force. 4. A pot dropped from a height shatters violently. It is used to describe situations or people that have become particularly difficult or harsh due to their circumstances.

This proverb highlights the subjectivity of taste and authority. It means that power and personal affection define value. If a king approves of something, it becomes the rule or truth; similarly, if a man loves his wife, she is as beautiful as a celestial nymph (Rambha) to him, regardless of others' opinions.

This proverb highlights three things that are considered uncontrollable, fierce, or difficult to deal with. Just as a bent palm strip snaps back with force and sunshine is particularly scorching after a cloud passes, the expression suggests that a woman who has gained independence from her husband (in the context of traditional social structures) can be formidable or unrestrained. It is used to describe situations or people that have suddenly become intense or hard to manage after being released from a constraint.

This proverb is used to describe something or someone that is extremely intense, harsh, or unbearable. Just as the sun feels much hotter and more piercing immediately after coming out from behind a cloud, the anger or behavior of a person who has faced rejection or abandonment is perceived to be particularly sharp and difficult to endure.

This proverb refers to finding a place or a group that welcomes those who have been cast out or have abandoned their previous lives. Historically, Vidavalur (a village in Nellore) was metaphorically cited as a refuge for destitute or runaway women. In a broader sense, it suggests that there is always a specific gathering spot or a common destination for people of a similar unfortunate or unconventional status.
