કાજીજીની કુતરી મુઇ ત્યારે બધું ગામ મલ્યું, ને કાજીજી મુવા ત્યારે કાઇ નહી.

kājījīnī kutarī mui tyārē badhuṁ gāma malyuṁ, nē kājījī muvā tyārē kāi nahī.

Literally: When the Qazi's bitch died the whole village turned out; when the Qazi died, nobody came.
What it means: People attend on power, not on the person. The moment there is nothing to gain, the crowd is gone.
