બેઠક Bethak

પાળે નાચે પારેવાં, વગડે નાચે મોર; પરણ્યા એટલા માનવી, બીજા હરાયા ઢોર.

pāḷē nācē pārēvāṁ, vagaḍē nācē mōra; paraṇyā ēṭalā mānavī, bījā harāyā ḍhōra.

Literally
Pigeons dance on the wall, peacocks dance in the wilderness; those who are married are human beings, the rest are stray cattle;
What it means
Marriage brings social responsibility and discipline, without which a person lives aimlessly like stray animals.
