It makes no sense to me personally. The book is great in the language it was originally written. Changing the language will not exactly reflect the comedy of the book.
Likewise you can translate kanyAsulkam by Appa Rao but then you lose the quality of the words and story. For example IMO it is impossible to trasnlate something like... " తాంబూలాలు ఇచ్చేసాను. తన్నుకు చావండి. " into English.

How about --- I am over with giving away betel leaves with nuts coins included in them; you beat up each other and die!

And this is even better:
ఇలాంటి లంజలని వందమందిని కన్యాదానం చేసి ఉండేవాడిని ---- I would have given away in marriage a hundred virgin prostitutes like this!

తాంబూలము (p. 0520) [ tāmbūlamu ] tāmbūlamu. [Skt.] n. The betel-leaf and areca nut formed into a parcel, ready for use. వక్కాకు. This is also a phrase for a douceur. తాంబూలము పుచ్చుకొను
to take betel (which is generally offered ceremoniously to a stranger
as a mark of respect.) To take an oath: (because such a ceremony is
gone through when an oath or solemn engagement is taken.) The tambulamu likewise is given as the final or termination of every meal, every transaction and every religious rite. Thus తాంబూలమిచ్చు and తాంబూలముపుచ్చుకొను is to ratify most solemnly, as a betrothal; to swear an oath. తాంబూలవల్లి or తాంబూలి the betel vine.
