“ പെറ്റമ്മ ചത്താൽ പെറ്റപ്പൻ ചിറ്റപ്പ�”
English Translation:
When the mother who bore you dies, your own father becomes like a distant uncle. (The loss of a mother dissolves the warm core of domestic affection, often leaving maternal orphans estranged even from their father.)

“ പടെക്കും അടെക്കും കുടെക്കും ചളിക്കും നടുനല്ലു”
English Translation:
In battle, behind barricades, under an umbrella, and through mire, the middle position is best. (The wisdom of the golden mean; positioning oneself in the center offers the greatest protection from extreme hazards.)

“ ബന്ധു ആറു കരയുന്നതിനെക്കാളും ഉടയവനൊന്നുകരഞ്ഞാൽ മതി”
English Translation:
Better that the rightful owner weep once than six distant kinfolk wail together. (The genuine grief and direct stake of the actual owner outweigh all the superficial lamentations of outside onlookers.)
