બેઠક Bethak

નાગર બચ્ચા, કશું ન બોલે સચ્ચા; બોલે સચ્ચા તો ગુરુ કચ્ચા.

nāgara baccā, kaśuṁ na bōlē saccā; bōlē saccā tō guru kaccā.

Literally
A Nagar child never speaks the truth; if he speaks the truth, his teacher was incompetent.
What it means
Said to mock the Nagar Brahmin community, characterizing them as inherently deceitful and cunning.
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
