બેઠક Bethak

ઘોડા છૂટે, ઘોડી છૂટે, કર્યું તે કામ.

Literally
Whether the horse gets loose or the mare gets loose, the work that is done is what matters.
What it means
Regardless of the chaos, losses, or means used, the only thing that ultimately matters is whether the task was successfully completed.
