બેઠક Bethak

ગામ મારતાં, ધાડ પાડતાં, એ રજપુતનું ટાણું;

gāma māratāṁ, dhāḍa pāḍatāṁ, ē rajaputanuṁ ṭāṇuṁ;

Literally
Plundering villages, committing dacoity, that is the Rajput's occasion;
What it means
It is shameful when noble people stoop to low, criminal, or undignified activities that do not befit their status.
