બેઠક Bethak

નગારાં વાગે, નોબત વાગે, પણ રાંડ સુતી ન જાગે.

nagārāṁ vāgē, nōbata vāgē, paṇa rāṁḍa sutī na jāgē.

Literally
The kettledrums play, the royal drums play, but the wretched woman sleeping does not wake.
What it means
Said of an extremely lazy, indifferent, or thick-skinned person who ignores all warnings and commotion around them.
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.
