Rest in Malayalam
Rest is വിശ്രമം (vishramam), the Sanskrit word used for a break from work, a period of bed rest and the pause between two stretches of effort. Doctors prescribe it by this name and so does the office circular that grants leave.
Most common translation
Rest, repose, relaxation, cessation of work.
അൽപ്പം വിശ്രമം എടുക്കൂ.
alppam vishramam edukkoo.
Take a little rest.
