લક્ષ્મી વિના લપોડ, ચતુર્ભુજ ગાયે ચારતા; થઈ બેઠા રણછોડ મેરામણ મથ્યા પછી.

lakṣmī vinā lapōḍa, caturbhuja gāyē cāratā; thaī bēṭhā raṇachōḍa mērāmaṇa mathyā pachī.

Literally: Without wealth he was considered worthless while tending cows; after churning the ocean, he became Lord Ranchhod.
What it means: High status and honor in society come with acquired wealth and power.
