બેઠક Bethak

નિસ નિત્ય નવલાં ખાય, બીજાને આપે નહીં;

nisa nitya navalāṁ khāya, bījānē āpē nahīṁ;

Literally
Eating new delicacies every single day, without giving to others;
What it means
Wealth that is spent solely on one's own pleasures without any charity or sharing is utterly useless and wasted.
