બેઠક Bethak

ન કરે નારાયણ કે ગઢવી ગાડે ચડે.

na karē nārāyaṇa kē gaḍhavī gāḍē caḍē.

Literally
May God forbid that a Charan bard should ride in a cart.
What it means
Said to express a wish that a proud or troublesome person never gains power or authority, as they will abuse it.

Also said as

  • ૧ વે દીન કહાંસે કે મીયાંકે પાંસે જીતીયાં?
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

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