ભોજનને માટે નીમખ જોઇએ, એલવાને માટે કહેવત જોઇએ.

bhōjananē māṭē nīmakha jōiē, ēlavānē māṭē kahēvata jōiē.

Literally: For food, one needs salt; for speaking, one needs a proverb.
What it means: It is used to explain that proverbs add flavor and authority to speech.

કહેવત સમુદાય (Kahevat Samuday) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet
