“ മൂക്കറുത്തെങ്കിലും ശകുനപ്പിഴ കാണിക്കണം”
English Translation:
Even if it means cutting off one’s own nose, one must cause an ill omen for the rival. (Cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face; inflicting catastrophic self-harm out of petty, obsessive malice just to spoil another’s success.)

“ കട്ടവൻ നിൽക്കുമ്പോൾ ഉളിഞ്ഞവന്റെ തലപോയി”
English Translation:
While the actual thief stood brazenly by, the timid soul who ducked had his head cut off. (The brazen culprit escapes scot-free while an innocent, frightened bystander takes the blame.)

“ ശാസ്ത്രാൽരൂഢി ബലീയസ�”
English Translation:
Established custom is stronger than codified scripture. (Entrenched tradition, social convention, and lived usage naturally override formal texts and abstract laws.)
