બેઠક Bethak

લપટા પક્ષ્યા એટલે વાત કાઈ માને નહીં.

lapaṭā pakṣyā ēṭalē vāta kāī mānē nahīṁ.

What it means
Left blank on purpose. The scan is damaged here and the words are not certain enough to translate — English written over a guess would hide the guess rather than fix it. The Gujarati above is what could be read.
The English proverb Shah set beside it
A camel is notorious in an army.

Also said as

  • લશ્કરમાં ઊંટ બદનામ.
  • કટકમાં કાણા ઊંટ બદનામ.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · awaiting its meaning

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