“ ചെറുപ്രായത്തിൽ പഠിച്ചതു മറുരാജ്യത്തിലും തുണക്കും”
English Translation:
What is learned in early childhood will sustain you even in a foreign land. (Foundational learning and skills acquired in youth remain a lifelong, portable asset.)

“ തംകുലം വറട്ടി ധർമ്മം ചെയ്യരുതു”
English Translation:
Never perform acts of charity by starving your own household. (Charity begins at home; do not ruin your own family to put on an outward show of philanthropy for outsiders.)

“ തിരുവോണത്തിനില്ലാത്തതു തീക്കൊള്ളിക്കൊ”
English Translation:
What was withheld even for the great feast of Onam, is it now to be squandered on a burning firebrand? (If an asset was denied for the highest celebration, it is madness to waste it on destructive folly.)
