બેઠક Bethak

ભરજે ભડથી બાથ, રાંકને રંજડીશ માં;

bharajē bhaḍathī bātha, rāṁkanē raṁjaḍīśa māṁ;

Literally
Grapple with the brave, do not harass the poor;
What it means
True strength lies in challenging powerful adversaries, not in oppressing the weak and helpless.

  • રાજી જગને નાથ, સાચું સોરઠીઓ ભણે.
