બેઠક Bethak

એક જુઠું ઢાંકવા જતાં બીજું ઘણું જુઠું બોલવું પડે.

ēka juṭhuṁ ḍhāṁkavā jatāṁ bījuṁ ghaṇuṁ juṭhuṁ bōlavuṁ paḍē.

Literally
Going to cover one lie, one has to tell many other lies.
What it means
One lie leads to a chain of further dishonesty.
કહેવત સમુદાય (Kahevat Samuday) · 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.
