બેઠક Bethak

આનંદ કહે પરમાનંદા, ચીજે ચીજે ફેર; એક લાબે શેર મળે નહીં, એક ટકાની ત્રણ શેર.

ānaṁda kahē paramānaṁdā, cījē cījē phēra; ēka lābē śēra maḷē nahīṁ, ēka ṭakānī traṇa śēra.

Literally
Anand says to Parmanand, there is a difference between thing and thing; one is not available even for a lakh of rupees a seer, another is three seers for a copper coin.
What it means
Things in this world vary vastly in value, with some being priceless and rare while others are cheap and abundant.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
