He has given the meaning in English as well as making it easy to understand, in a beautiful manner. See his book,’ Counsel from the Ancients: Study of Badaga Proverbs, Prayers, Omens and Curses’. He feels that 1730 could be a complete figure containing all the proverbs there are.
Paul Hockings, probably the most authentic researcher on and of Badaga lists more than a thousand Badaga proverbs, 1730 to be precise. When you engage an elderly Badaga into any conversation, you are sure to hear a lot of these proverbs thrown in to make / emphasis a point. One of the fascinating and interesting aspect of Badaga is the free use of delightful but deep meaning proverbs called “DHODDARU SHLOKA”.
