“Tamil:
சனி நீராடு.”
“English Translation:
Bathe on Saturdays.This proverb is regarded by the people among whom I have lived as equivalent to a command, and is obeyed as such, by observing Saturday as a bathing day.Some interpreters put another construction upon it, making the word, usually translated Saturday, a verb, meaning to spring as water, and render it, bathe in springing, fresh, cool water. In some parts of the country, men bathe on Saturday, while women bathe on Friday or Monday. To bathe on Tuesday is regarded as fatal if repeated again and again.”,
