This proverb is used to describe a futile effort or helping someone who is ungrateful or incapable of improvement.

This is an agricultural proverb related to rainfall during specific lunar mansions (Nakshatras). It means that even a small amount of rain during the 'Magha' season is valuable, but heavy rain during the 'Pubba' season is extremely beneficial and results in a bountiful harvest.

This expression describes something that was extremely short-lived or a situation where a person enjoyed a very brief period of success or life.

This is an agricultural proverb related to the lunar mansions (Nakshatras).
