Don't know if the last bit is right either!
:ty: Badri, many of the proverbs are flexible! Their ease of innovation & extempore word play make them enjoyable giving scope for construing in more than one way.

Mk., these are really wise sayings indeed. But they are in a very old dialect/form which we are not familiar with now. All the proverbs we have listed so far are in easily understandable colloquial language. Perhaps we can maintain that standard for our collection. Let us hear the opinion of others too.
'paambin kaal paambaRiyum' is already included in the list!
