બેઠક Bethak

લોભી રીઝે દામે, પુલણજી રીઝે નામે; તાડીએ રીઝે ગોલા, ને ગોપી રીઝે સામે.

lōbhī rījhē dāmē, pulaṇajī rījhē nāmē; tāḍīē rījhē gōlā, nē gōpī rījhē sāmē.

Literally
A miser is pleased by money, a vain man is pleased by fame; a servant is pleased by toddy, and a milkmaid is pleased face to face.
What it means
Observes that different people are swayed by entirely different flatteries and pleasures.
