બેઠક Bethak

ગાયાં ગીત શાં ગાવાં, રાંધ્યાં ધાન શાં રાંધવાં ?

gāyāṁ gīta śāṁ gāvāṁ, rāṁdhyāṁ dhāna śāṁ rāṁdhavāṁ ?

Literally
Why sing songs that have already been sung, why cook food that has already been cooked?
What it means
There is no point in repeating tasks that are already completed or dwelling on things that are already settled.

Also said as

  • ગાયે ગળ્યું રતન.
  • ગારાની તોલડી, લસણના વધાર, પુલચંદના બેટડા આખા ગામના ઉતાર.
