This proverb highlights the importance of proximity in different professions. It suggests that farming is best done in a fertile village (even if it's far), but medical help should be available in the village where one resides for immediate access during emergencies. It is used to discuss the strategic location of services based on necessity and convenience.

This proverb highlights the essential elements for success in traditional rural life. It suggests that just as an ox is indispensable for productive agriculture, a cooperative and understanding wife is the foundation for a harmonious and successful domestic life.

This proverb is used to describe actions or outcomes that are completely dependent on luck or chance rather than skill or planning. It implies that when someone incompetent or careless does something, there is no guarantee of the result; it is purely accidental if it works out.

This proverb describes a situation where someone is surrounded by opportunities or benefits but cannot see or utilize them due to their own limitations or ignorance. Just as a blind man standing under a fruit-laden jujube tree cannot see the fruit and therefore cannot pick it, this expression is used when someone misses out on obvious advantages right in front of them.

This proverb highlights that agriculture is an extremely demanding and difficult profession. It suggests that if one is willing to endure the hardship and toil (metaphorically represented by 'crying'), there is endless work to be done.

This proverb emphasizes that farming is only sustainable and profitable for those who possess the necessary resources, specifically grain (seed/wealth) and livestock (labor/manure). It is used to suggest that success in any venture requires having the essential fundamental assets.

This proverb refers to Kolleru Lake, which is prone to sudden floods. While the land is fertile, farming there is highly risky.

This expression means that every person has their own unique set of problems and struggles which only they truly understand and endure. It is used to emphasize that one cannot compare or diminish someone's hardship, as everyone is preoccupied with their own specific challenges in life.

This expression describes a situation where a person is completely unaware of the opportunities or resources available right in front of them. When berries fall from the jujube tree, a blind person cannot see them and a deaf person cannot hear them fall, thus they miss out on the fruit despite being right under the tree. It is used to mock someone who lacks the awareness or senses to benefit from their immediate environment.
