બેઠક Bethak

કહા કહુ કીરતારકું, પરાલબ્ધકા ખેલ;

kahā kahu kīratārakuṁ, parālabdhakā khēla;

Literally
What to say to the Creator, the game of destiny; gave Lanka to Vibhishan, and oil to Hanuman.
What it means
Destiny is unpredictable and often seems unfair.

Also said as

  • વિભીપણકું લંક દી, ઓર હનુમાનકું તેલ.

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