“ വായ്ക്കരിക്കുവകയുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ നംപൂരിനാടുനീങ്ങുമൊ”
English Translation:
If there were enough grain for the funeral rites, would the Namboothiri ever pass away (or wander abroad begging)? (Extreme destitution forces even the proudest into desperate, humiliating measures; nobody surrenders station if basic needs are met.)
