બેઠક Bethak

છાંટા તોએ ઘેરના, ઘાડી તોએ ધુંચ;

chāṁṭā tōē ghēranā, ghāḍī tōē dhuṁca;

Literally
Even if drops, they are of home; even if thick, it is a mist;
What it means
Even small remnants of something valuable or powerful retain their inherent worth, just as Bharuch remains significant even when ruined.

Also said as

  • તણુખા તોએ આગના, ભાંગી તોએ ભરૂચ.

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
