1. Akali ruci yerugadu, nidra sukham yerugadu.
Akali=hunger; ruci= taste; nidra=sleep
Hunger does not know (need) taste and sleep knows (needs) no comfort.
Comment: When a person is very hungry anything tastes good; when very sleepy, one
does not require the usual comfort one looks for.

5. Alasyam amrutam visam.
Alasyam=delay; Amrutam=nectar; Visam= poison
Delay turns nectar into poison.
Comment: Opportunity unavailed becomes harmful. One should not delay.
6. Alu ledu, culu ledu, koduku peru somalingam.
Alu= wife; Peru=name
No wife and no pregnancy, but the child’s name is Somalingam.
Comment: Some people look for results even before the necessary tasks are performed.
This indicates absurdity in wildly expecting something to happen.
7. Are dipaniki velugu yekkuva.
Are dipam= lamp about to go out; Velugu= brightness
The lamp about to go out gives sudden brilliance.
Comment: This suggests subtly the final glow or false promise before the approaching
end. There is a saying cavu telivi: that before death one gets brilliant idea(s)
8. Aggi mida guggilam.
Guggilam=incense
Adding incense to the fire.
Comment : When a person is already angry the anger is aggravated by indiscreet words.
On those occasions, it is wise to be silent; otherwise it would add insult to injury.
