This expression refers to a situation or a large group of people lacking leadership, direction, or a sense of responsibility. It is used to describe chaos or a project that is going nowhere because nobody is taking charge, similar to the epic Mahabharata if it had no central figure or duty-bound purpose.

This proverb highlights that a man's true wealth and success in life depend heavily on having a supportive and understanding spouse. It is used to emphasize the importance of marital harmony and the role a life partner plays in one's prosperity and happiness.

This expression is used to mock someone who tries to prove their excellence or innocence by comparing themselves to someone already known for that trait, often implying that both are equally questionable or that the comparison is absurd. It is used when someone tries to outdo a claim that is already perceived as a lie or an exaggeration.

This expression is used to describe a person who lacks common sense, social etiquette, or tact. It highlights a situation where someone asks an incredibly offensive, contradictory, or foolish question that insults everyone involved while being logically absurd (since a wife cannot be a widow while the husband is alive and being questioned).

This expression is used to describe someone who acts arrogant or powerful only towards those who are dependent on them or cannot retaliate, while being timid or insignificant in front of others. It highlights selective bravery or false pride shown within the safety of one's home.

This proverb suggests that practical experience often outweighs theoretical knowledge. An 'old patient' who has suffered through a condition for a long time may understand the nuances of the illness better than a 'new doctor' who has only studied it.

This expression is used to describe an absurd or illogical situation where a person interferes in a matter that they have absolutely no authority or legal standing over. It refers to someone trying to settle or decide an issue that does not involve them at all.

This proverb emphasizes that mere talk or knowledge without action is useless. Just as a patient must take medicine prescribed by a doctor rather than just repeating the doctor's name to get cured, one must put in the actual work to achieve a result instead of just discussing the person who can do it or the process itself.

This proverb suggests that we only value or seek out experts, resources, or help when we are in need. Once a person is healthy or successful, they often feel they have no use for those who could have helped them during a crisis. It is used to describe situational friendships or the tendency to ignore experts when things are going well.
