બેઠક Bethak

પાંચે મિત્ર, પચીસે પડોસી, ને સોએ સગા.

pāṁcē mitra, pacīsē paḍōsī, nē sōē sagā.

Literally
At five a friend, at twenty-five a neighbor, and at a hundred a relative.
What it means
The closeness of relationships decreases as the distance or number of people increases.
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.
