వేషగాని అడుగులు వేటలో పనికివచ్చునా?

This expression is used to convey the idea of being content with what one receives or what is available, rather than complaining or desiring more. It suggests that whatever is destined for you or comes your way should be accepted with gratitude, treating it as something sacred or precious.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where someone expects an impossibility or an illogical outcome. It implies that certain consequences are inextricably linked to their source, or that one cannot escape a larger disaster by focusing on minor details. Just as a flood naturally carries a boat, the primary cause dictates the result.

This proverb is used to illustrate that you cannot achieve a successful or noble outcome by relying on incompetent, unreliable, or unstable people. Just as a rabid or mad dog is unpredictable and cannot be trained for the discipline of hunting, an unfit person cannot be trusted to perform a specific task effectively.

This proverb highlights the inevitability of certain outcomes. Just as a ram (often sacrificial) cannot escape its fate once it falls ill, or as one cannot avoid the comforts/fortunes destined for them, some situations are unavoidable and irreversible once they set in motion. It is used to describe certainties or fated events.

This proverb highlights that skills acquired for show, performance, or imitation (like those of an actor or dancer) are not applicable in real, high-stakes, or dangerous situations like hunting. It is used to point out that superficial knowledge or decorative talents cannot replace practical experience and genuine expertise when it truly matters.

This expression is often used to question the reliability of alliances or agreements made between parties who lack genuine integrity or shared values. It suggests that mere words or 'truths' are not enough to ensure a lasting partnership if there is no underlying trust or sincerity. It is used when pointing out that forced or artificial cooperation will likely fail.

This proverb is used to describe something that is only useful for decorative or superficial purposes but lacks functional value. Just as lime/chalk powder looks like flour but cannot be eaten, some people or objects may look the part but fail in practical application.

This proverb is used to emphasize that borrowed money or resources are not a permanent or reliable solution for immediate, basic needs. Just as one cannot rely on the uncertainty of getting a loan when they are starving, one should focus on self-reliance and earning their own living rather than depending on others for essential survival.

This expression is used to advise someone that worrying or being anxious about a problem does not solve it. It emphasizes that constant worrying is futile and only action or time can heal difficulties. It is similar to the English sentiment 'Worrying doesn't take away tomorrow's troubles, it takes away today's peace.'

This proverb is used to express skepticism about the reliability of words versus actions. It suggests that while people may make many promises or speak many truths, those words do not always come together to form a concrete result or a reliable outcome. It highlights the fleeting nature of verbal commitments.
