બેઠક Bethak

દેરાણી-જેઠાણીની ગેહડીમાં સકરપારા, નણંદ ભોજાઈની ગેહડીમાં અંગારા.

Literally
In the game of the husband's younger brother's wife and older brother's wife there are sweetmeats; in the game of the husband's sister and brother's wife there are burning embers.
What it means
Sisters-in-law married to brothers get along sweetly, whereas a husband's sister and his wife are always at conflict.
