ન કર્યા પાપડ, ન કરી વડી, ને પારકે પૈસે કન્યા ગણી,

na karyā pāpaḍa, na karī vaḍī, nē pārakē paisē kanyā gaṇī,

Literally: Neither made papads, nor made vadis, and counted the bride with someone else's money.
What it means: Said of someone who contributes no effort or resources of their own but takes credit for a successful event.
