બેઠક Bethak

જો ગધેડે મુલક લેવાય, તો ઘોડાના ભાવ કાઈ પૂછત નહીં.

jō gadhēḍē mulaka lēvāya, tō ghōḍānā bhāva kāī pūchata nahīṁ.

Literally
If a country could be conquered by donkeys, then no one would ask the price of horses.
What it means
Said when someone expects cheap, inferior, or incompetent means to achieve results that require high skill and quality.

Also said as

  • જોગીની ધુણી, જળ ઓછું તળ આગ.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

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