సంపదగలవాని సన్నిపాతం వలె

This proverb refers to a situation where a single individual is the sole breadwinner for a large extended family or a group of dependents. It describes the burden of one person's hard work sustaining many others, often used when discussing family responsibilities or collective dependency on one source of income.

This expression refers to something that is wasted or fails to serve its primary, intended purpose. It describes a situation where a valuable resource exists but does not benefit the person who needs it most, often due to poor timing, negligence, or unfortunate circumstances.

This expression describes a situation where someone performs an action in an entirely inappropriate or damaging environment, resulting in unintended destruction. In the proverb, a blind person performing a dance or play (Bhagavatam) in a field of brittle brinjal (eggplant) plants would inadvertently crush the crop. It is used to mock someone who acts without considering their surroundings or someone whose clumsy efforts cause more harm than good.

This expression is used to describe a person who lacks direction, stability, or control in their life. Just as a kite without a tail spins out of control and is at the mercy of the wind, this phrase refers to someone wandering aimlessly or being highly unstable in their actions or situation.

This proverb is used to mock someone who expects luxury or high standards before they have truly established their foundations or stability. It describes a situation where someone demands rewards or comforts prematurely, often with very little effort or progress made.

This proverb highlights that certain people are always busy. A person with a physical itch is constantly occupied scratching it, while a gardener is perpetually busy tending to plants.

This expression suggests that inevitable progress, positive change, or the course of destiny cannot be halted by petty critics or insignificant obstacles. Just as crows cawing cannot prevent the arrival of spring, small-minded people cannot stop a great event from happening.

This expression is used to describe a situation where people are hopelessly trapped or stuck in a difficult problem with no easy way to escape. Just as flies get their wings snagged in thorny branches and struggle to get out, it signifies being entangled in a complex or messy predicament.

This expression is used to describe a problem, conflict, or situation that persists for a very long time without reaching a conclusion. According to legend, Ravana's funeral pyre never goes out; similarly, this phrase refers to issues that keep burning or simmering indefinitely.
