બેઠક Bethak

કાગનું બેસવું ને તાડનું પડવું.

kāganuṁ bēsavuṁ nē tāḍanuṁ paḍavuṁ.

Literally
The crow settles and the palm tree falls.
What it means
Two things coincide and the innocent one gets the blame.

કહેવત સમુદાય (Kahevat Samuday) બૃહદ કહેવત કથાસાગર (Bruhad Kahevat Kathasagar) (1920) · 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.
