બેઠક Bethak

માણસનું કસનેકુ કસોટી હે, રજપુતકુ કસનેકુ અપીમકી ગોટી હે, ગવૈએકુ કસનેકુ રાગ ઝીઝોટી હે, ગમારકુ કસનેકુ ભાંગકી લોટી હે.

māṇasanuṁ kasanēku kasōṭī hē, rajaputaku kasanēku apīmakī gōṭī hē, gavaiēku kasanēku rāga jhījhōṭī hē, gamāraku kasanēku bhāṁgakī lōṭī hē.

Literally
To test a man there is a touchstone, to test a Rajput there is a ball of opium, to test a singer there is the Jhijhoti melody, and to test a rustic there is a pot of bhang.
What it means
Every type of person has a specific vulnerability or test that reveals their true nature.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

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