બેઠક Bethak

મયકા કર મા મેતરાણી, આ ચુડે મેં તેર આણી.

mayakā kara mā mētarāṇī, ā cuḍē mēṁ tēra āṇī.

Literally
Do not boast, sweeper-woman, I brought you in this bangle.
What it means
Said to humble someone who boasts of their status but is actually dependent on another's favor.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet
