సీతకు రాసినది సీమకు రాయవలెనా?

This proverb describes a situation where a person is overwhelmed by both long-term destiny/misfortunes and immediate, practical hardships. It is used when someone is burdened by multiple problems at once, questioning whether to lament their overall bad luck or the specific, difficult tasks immediately in front of them.

Sankaṭi is a coarse porridge generally made with Çoḷḷu ( Eleusine Coracana ) commonly called Râgi.

This expression refers to the concept of destiny or fate. It implies that what is predestined for an individual (traditionally believed to be written on the forehead by Brahma) will inevitably happen, regardless of the efforts made to change it. It is often used to express resignation toward life's events.

This proverb advises caution and foresight in two different contexts. In the physical sense, one should check water/liquid before drinking to ensure it is clean. In the context of writing or documentation, one must 'look behind' or review what has been written to check for errors or unintended consequences before finalizing it.

This expression refers to something that is temporary, unreliable, or lacks permanence. Just as writing on the surface of water disappears instantly, this phrase is used to describe promises that are easily broken or plans that have no solid foundation.

This proverb emphasizes that health is the foundation for all achievements. Just as a painting requires a physical wall to exist, a person needs good health and a basic foundation to pursue any goals or ambitions in life. It is often used to remind someone to prioritize their well-being or the basics before attempting complex tasks.

This expression refers to the concept of 'Karma' or 'Destiny'. It implies that what is written in one's fate (by the Creator) is permanent and cannot be altered or undone later. It is often used to express resignation toward one's circumstances or to suggest that one must face the consequences of their destiny as it was originally ordained.

This expression refers to the concept of destiny or 'Brahma Lipi' (the writing of Fate). It suggests that what is destined to happen according to one's karma or fate cannot be changed, erased, or rewritten by anyone. It is used to express resignation toward inevitable life events or to emphasize that one's lot in life is predetermined.

This expression refers to a futile or impossible task. Just as a painting cannot stay or be visible when drawn on empty space/air, it describes efforts that are wasted, plans that have no foundation, or actions that yield no result.

This expression is used to describe a situation where someone's fate or destiny seems to have been predetermined for an early or sudden end. It is often used when discussing tragic, untimely events or a series of unfortunate circumstances that led to a quick downfall, implying that it was written in their 'karma' or 'fate' (talavrata) to perish or fail at that specific moment.

This expression is used to describe an extremely slow or tedious writer. It implies that the person is taking so much time to write a simple letter or note that it feels as if they are documenting the history of an entire region (Seema). It is used to mock someone's inefficiency or unnecessary delay in completing a simple writing task.
