બેઠક Bethak

નાને મ્હોડે મોટી વાત. નાની મોટી કરતાં કુંવારા રહે.

nānē mhōḍē mōṭī vāta. nānī mōṭī karatāṁ kuṁvārā rahē.

Literally
Big talk from a small mouth; by being too picky about big and small, one remains unmarried.
What it means
Boasting beyond one's status is foolish, and being overly fastidious in choosing a partner leads to remaining single.
