A rat keeps blowing cool air while continuing to bite.
What it means
Said of a treacherous person who feigns kindness while quietly causing harm.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet
