“ തൊമ്മനു തൊപ്പിപ്പാളപോയി, ചാണ്ടിക്കു കഴുക്കോൽ പോയി, മുതലാളിക്കു പണമടിശ്ശീലപോയി”
English Translation:
Thomman lost his areca-leaf hat, Chandy lost his rafter-pole, and the master lost his money pouch. (A collective calamity strikes everyone according to their scale: the poor lose humble trifles, while the wealthy lose their fortune.)
