“ ഇരുന്നുണ്ടവൻ രുചിയറിയാ, കിളച്ചുണ്ടവൻ രുചിയറിയും”
English Translation:
The one who eats in idleness knows not the taste of rice; he who digs the soil with a hoe knows its true sweetness. (Labor sweetens food; things earned by hard sweat carry a satisfaction inherited wealth never knows.)

“ ചട്ടി, വിട്ടി = ഷഷ്ഠി, വിഷ്ഠി”
English Translation:
[Linguistic gloss from source text: Clarifies that “Chatti” and “Vitti” in proverb #564 refer to Shashti and Vishti, inauspicious astrological timings.]
