సొగసైన లేమకు సెగరోగమున్నట్లు

This proverb is used to describe something that, despite having many benefits, is extremely fragile or plagued with numerous problems. Just as the drumstick tree is highly nutritious but prone to pests and easily broken, this expression refers to people or situations that require constant care and are always riddled with some issue or the other.

This proverb highlights that appearance is not the same as utility or quality. Just because a silk-cotton tree (Buruga) looks grand and beautiful, it doesn't mean it will yield edible or sweet fruits. It is used to describe situations where something looks impressive on the outside but lacks inner substance or functional value.

This expression is used to describe a situation where someone tries to escape a small problem only to end up in a much worse or more dangerous situation. It is the Telugu equivalent of the English idiom 'Out of the frying pan and into the fire'.

Similar to the English proverb 'If you play with fire, you'll get burned,' it suggests that one cannot remain completely unaffected by the environment or people they are closely associated with.

This proverb is used to highlight deceptive appearances or temporary states. It suggests that a mother-in-law appears quiet and gentle only when she is exhausted (otherwise she might be authoritative), and a new daughter-in-law appears virtuous only because she is in a new environment and hasn't shown her true colors yet. It warns not to judge a person's permanent nature based on fleeting circumstances.

This expression is used to emphasize practicality and quality over superficial beauty or vanity. It suggests that as long as something functions well or is of good character, outward appearance is secondary.

This proverb is used to convey that both happiness (represented by a feast) and hardship (represented by taking medicine) are temporary.

This expression is used to describe something that is present in abundance or is easily accessible within a large collection. It signifies a state of plenty or a situation where a specific resource is concentrated in one place, making it easy to find or utilize.
