બેઠક Bethak

મોતી કણ મોધે કીયે, સોધે કીયે અનાજ;

mōtī kaṇa mōdhē kīyē, sōdhē kīyē anāja;

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
God helps the poor, for the rich help themselves.

  • તુલસી તખ મેં જાનીયે, હરિ હે ગરીબનિવાજ.
  • સરોવર, તરવર, સંત જન, ચોથા બર સત મેહ;
  • પરમાર્થકે કારણે, ચારે ધરીઆ દેહ.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · 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.
