બેઠક Bethak

આંગણ આંબે મેરીએ, સાખ પડી ઘર બહાર; દેવે ઉપાઈ દેવડી, નહીં જાતે કુંભાર.

āṁgaṇa āṁbē mērīē, sākha paḍī ghara bahāra; dēvē upāī dēvaḍī, nahīṁ jātē kuṁbhāra.

Literally
The mango blossomed in the courtyard, the ripe fruit fell outside the house; God created the goddess, she was not born of a potter.
What it means
Asserts that noble character and greatness are inherent by birth or divine grace, regardless of one's humble upbringing.
