“ കോന്തൻപോകുമ്പോൾ കുറിവേണമൊ”
English Translation:
Does an utter fool require an auspicious sandalwood mark when setting out? (Pious rituals, elaborate preparation, and good omens are wasted on someone inherently incompetent.)

“ കുളത്തിൽനിന്നു പോയാൽ വലയിൽ, വലയിൽനിന്നു പോയാൽ കുളത്തിൽ”
English Translation:
Out of the pond into the net, out of the net back into the pond. (Trapped in an alternating cycle of capture and escape; or returning safely to one’s natural element.)

“ ഒരു അരിശത്തിനു കിണറ്റിൽചാടി, ഏഴരിശത്തിനു കേറാൻവയ്യാ”
English Translation:
Leaped into a deep well in a single fit of fury, but cannot climb back out even with seven times that rage. (Rash decisions made in fleeting anger create traps from which no amount of fury can extricate you.)
