English Translation:
If you take your share in whatever work is seen, you may take your share in whatever is cooked. (He who does not work shall not eat; contribute to the labor if you wish to share the feast.)

“ കൈതമേലുണ്ടാകുന്ന കായിക്കും മുള്ളുണ്ടു”
English Translation:
Even the fruit that grows on the screw-pine is surrounded by thorns. (Desirable prizes and valuable achievements often come protected by sharp difficulties.)

“ ഉപ്പിരുന്ന കലവും ഉരുട്ടിരുന്ന മനവും പഴക്കത്തിനില്ല”
English Translation:
An earthen pot that held salt and a heart steeped in deceit will not endure for long. (Just as salt corrodes clay, treacherous malice inevitably destroys the person who harbors it.)
