બેઠક Bethak

જ્યાં ત્યાં ધામા નાણી બેસે, વગર બોલાવ્યા બોલે; લાલો કહે છે માલાને, તે તરખલાને તોલે.

jyāṁ tyāṁ dhāmā nāṇī bēsē, vagara bōlāvyā bōlē; lālō kahē chē mālānē, tē tarakhalānē tōlē.

Literally
Wherever they go they pitch camp and sit, they speak without being spoken to; Lalo says to Malo, they weigh like a blade of grass.
What it means
People who intrude where they are not wanted and speak without invitation hold absolutely no value or respect in society.

Also said as

  • ઘેર ઘેર જઈને ચીજો માગે, રાંક જેવા થઈબાળે; લાલો કહે છે માલાને, તે તરખલાને તોલે.
