ગયાં પારસ ને પતિયાર, જળ ગયાં જમી ગઇ; ચાંપા લોગાં ચાર, મહાત્મ ગયાં તે મળીના.

gayāṁ pārasa nē patiyāra, jaḷa gayāṁ jamī gai; cāṁpā lōgāṁ cāra, mahātma gayāṁ tē maḷīnā.

What it means: Left blank on purpose. The scan is damaged here and the words are not certain enough to translate — English written over a guess would hide the guess rather than fix it. The Gujarati above is what could be read.

ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · awaiting its meaning

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