બેઠક Bethak

ભાયડો એવું શું રળે, કે રાંડ રાંઢા કરે ?

bhāyaḍō ēvuṁ śuṁ raḷē, kē rāṁḍa rāṁḍhā karē ?

Literally
What kind of living does the husband earn, that the wife has to make rope?
What it means
Said when a husband's earnings are so paltry that the wife must do hard labor.

Also said as

  • ભાંડ ભવાઈ કરે, તે રખડી પેટ ભરે.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · 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.
