બેઠક Bethak

દીકરીઆળું ઘર ને પ્યારદીઆળું ખેતર.

dīkarīāḷuṁ ghara nē pyāradīāḷuṁ khētara.

Literally
A house full of daughters and a field full of weeds.
What it means
Having many daughters brings endless domestic responsibilities, just as a weed-filled field requires constant toil.

Also said as

  • દીકરીના પહાણા.

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