“ ഒല്ലി = പുതപ്പു; ഒളിച്ചു വയറ്റിൽ ഉണ്ടാകും, വെളിച്ചത്തുപെറും”
English Translation:
Conceived in dark secrecy, but delivered in the open light. (Gloss notes that “Olli” means a blanket or covering; hidden misdeeds cannot stay concealed forever, as their consequences eventually emerge before the world.)

“ തള്ളക്കോഴി ചവുട്ടീട്ട് കുഞ്ഞൻകോഴി ചാകയില്ല”
English Translation:
A chick does not perish from being stepped on by the mother hen. (Parental discipline and loving correction, though stern, are never intended to destroy the child.)

“ മെത്ത മേൽ കിടന്നാൽ വിദ്യയുണ്ടാകയില്ല”
English Translation:
Lounging upon a soft mattress will never yield true learning. (Knowledge and mastery demand austere self-discipline, sleepless toil, and hard sacrifice; luxury and indolence breed ignorance.)
