“Telugu:
కూతురికి మంగళవారం శుక్రవారం, కోడలికి దియ్యలు దియ్యలు”
English Translation:
[I only anoint] my daughter on Tuesdays and Fridays, but [I anoint] my daughter-in-law every Diyyalu.A catch. Diyyalu or Dipavali is a feast held on the 14th day of the dark fortnight in the month Asvayuja (October-November) on which occasion anointing the body with oil is indispensable. The “”every Dipavali” of the mother-in—law therefore only amounted to once a year, but she took better care of her own daughter.
