બેઠક Bethak

ભવાની માએ ભલું કર્યું કે આંખ પ્રમાણે ફૂલું ઘણું.

bhavānī māē bhaluṁ karyuṁ kē āṁkha pramāṇē phūluṁ ghaṇuṁ.

Literally
Mother Bhawani did well that the cataract is as large as the eye.
What it means
Said ironically when a misfortune or defect is perfectly matched to a person's already miserable state.

Also said as

  • ભંગીણ જોરૂ કાણી, અણીણીઆની રાંડ;
  • દારૂવાલેકી જોરૂં કહે, આવે મારો ગડગડતો સાંઢ.
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.
