બેઠક Bethak

હોંસે હોંસે ખાધા ચણા, ને ડાહામ ખાધા બોચી તણા.

hōṁsē hōṁsē khādhā caṇā, nē ḍāhāma khādhā bōcī taṇā.

Literally
Eagerly ate chickpeas, and suffered blows on the nape of the neck.
What it means
Impulsive indulgence for quick pleasure leads to painful punishment later.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet
