બેઠક Bethak

દુશ્મન તોએ બાંધવા, ધર્મી તોએ તુચ્છ;

duśmana tōē bāṁdhavā, dharmī tōē tuccha;

Literally
Even if enemies, they are brothers; even if righteous, they are insignificant;
What it means
Family ties and inherent value persist despite conflicts or ruin, just as Bharuch remains significant even when broken.

Also said as

  • કણી તોએ મુલેમાની, 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.
