సముద్రంలో వాన కురిసినా, అడవిలో వెన్నెల కాసినా ఎవరి కోసం?

This expression is used to describe something that is wasted or of no use to anyone. Just as rain on uncultivable land cannot grow crops and moonlight in a dense, uninhabited forest provides no benefit to people, an action or resource is considered 'Beedu kurisina vana' or 'Adavini kachina vennela' when it is spent on something that cannot yield results or be appreciated.

This expression is used to describe a contribution or an addition that is so insignificantly small compared to the vastness of the whole that it makes no difference at all. It is similar to the English idiom 'A drop in the bucket'.

This expression is used to describe an unexpected but perfect combination of two things or people from completely different backgrounds. Just as amla (from the forest) and salt (from the sea) combine to make a great pickle, it signifies a destiny-driven union or collaboration of disparate elements.

This proverb is used to describe a person who pretends to be weak, lazy, or incapable when asked to do work at home or in the village, but becomes extremely active, energetic, and agile when it concerns their own interests or outside activities. It highlights the hypocrisy of selective effort.

This expression is used to describe something that is wasted or goes unappreciated. Just as moonlight in an uninhabited forest has no one to admire it, and rain falling into the vast salt-water ocean adds no value, an action or resource spent where it isn't needed or recognized is considered a waste.

This expression means that regardless of the various paths, diversions, or obstacles one faces, the ultimate destiny or end goal remains the same. 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.

This proverb highlights the agricultural importance of rains occurring during the Arudra Karti (mid-June). It signifies that rain during this specific period is perfectly timed for sowing crops and ensures a bountiful harvest, making it the most critical rainfall for farmers.

This expression is used to describe something that is so small, insignificant, or negligible in comparison to the vastness of the situation that it makes no impact or difference at all. It is similar to the English idiom 'a drop in the ocean'.

This expression is used to describe an action that is redundant, useless, or has no significant impact because it is being added to something that is already vast or abundant. Just as rain does not change the level of the sea, a small contribution or help given to someone who already has everything is considered pointless.

This proverb is used to describe actions or resources that go to waste because they are not utilized by anyone who needs them. Moonlight in an uninhabited forest and rain falling into the salty sea serve no practical purpose for humanity, symbolizing futile efforts or wasted opportunities.
