જન્મી ઊંચા કુળમાં, કુકર્મનો કરનાર; નીચા તે અંતે ઠરે, મૂર્ખનો સરદાર.

janmī ūṁcā kuḷamāṁ, kukarmanō karanāra; nīcā tē aṁtē ṭharē, mūrkhanō saradāra.

Literally: Born in a high family, doing evil deeds; they are ultimately deemed low, the chief of fools.
What it means: Said of someone who, despite being born into a noble family, ruins their reputation and status by committing wicked deeds.
