Quoting proverb 183 from 'The Konkani Proverbs' by VP Chavan
"Chedi matari zalear pativrata zata?"
Which means " Can a harlot be called a chaste woman when she becomes aged?
Chedis are a sect of people living in Cochin and Travancore speaking Konkani
language. They are sometimes called Deva-dasis. The are connected with
dancing etc in temples of the Gaud Sarasvat community.
