రాయని భాస్కరుడు, గీయని చిత్రకారుడు

This expression serves as a metaphor for unproductive living. Just as a tree without leaves, flowers, or fruit is useless and essentially dead despite standing, a lazy person contributes nothing to society or themselves and lacks any signs of growth or success.

This expression refers to a person of exceptional self-control, integrity, or intellectual consistency. It describes someone who does not compromise their principles or the truth even in the most private, tempting, or vulnerable moments (symbolized by the 'bed'). It is used to praise someone who upholds their values regardless of the situation or personal desire.

This proverb emphasizes that formal education or knowledge is useless if it is not accompanied by good manners, ethics, and character (Samskaram). Just as a tree is valued for its fruit, a person's education is only meaningful if it results in good behavior and social responsibility.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where a person who does all the hard work or holds a higher responsibility lives in poverty or simplicity, while a subordinate or someone who contributes nothing lives a luxurious and showy life.

This proverb is used to compare a childless woman to a barren tree, suggesting that both fail to fulfill their primary natural purpose or produce results. It is often used in a traditional or poetic context to describe fruitlessness or lack of legacy.

This expression highlights the importance of generosity and social responsibility. It suggests that a person's life or wealth is useless if they do not help others, just as a fruit tree is considered pointless or unproductive if it fails to yield fruit. It is used to criticize stinginess and emphasize that true value lies in giving.

This proverb emphasizes patience and the natural progression of time. It means that if something expected doesn't happen right away, it will eventually happen at its own destined time. It is used to advise someone not to worry or rush a process that is inevitable.

This expression is used to describe a person who claims to be an expert or a scholar based on very basic or common knowledge. Shayana Ekadashi is a well-known festival in Hindu culture; knowing about it doesn't necessarily make someone a 'Shastrakara' (a master of scriptures). It is often used sarcastically to mock people who boast about superficial knowledge as if it were profound wisdom.

This expression is used to describe a person who is highly knowledgeable, talented, or qualified for a task but remains idle or refuses to perform the work. It originates from the poet 'Hulakki Bhaskara' who was part of the Ramayana translation; specifically, it refers to one who possesses the skill of a great poet (like Bhaskara) but does not put it into practice.
