Setting in Malayalam
English setting covers several ideas and no single word here matches them all. For the setting or decline of the sun, പതനം (pathanam) works, since it spans falling, setting and decline. Setting out on a journey calls for other words.
Fall, downfall, decline, setting, ruin, death, stage, flying.
അഹങ്കാരം അവന്റെ പതനത്തിന് കാരണമായി.
ahankaaram avante pathanathinu kaaranamaayi.
Pride caused his downfall.
