બેઠક Bethak

એક દીકરા દીકરામાં નહીં, ને સો રૂપીઆ પુંજીમાં નહીં.

ēka dīkarā dīkarāmāṁ nahīṁ, nē sō rūpīā puṁjīmāṁ nahīṁ.

Literally
One son is not counted among sons, and a hundred rupees is not counted as wealth.
What it means
A single offspring or a tiny sum of money offers no real security in times of need.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

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