બેઠક Bethak

પાંચે મિત્ર, પચીસે પડોસી, ને સોએ સગો.

pāṁcē mitra, pacīsē paḍōsī, nē sōē sagō.

Literally
At five steps a friend, at twenty-five a neighbor, and at a hundred a relative.
What it means
Different degrees of proximity determine our social circles and connections.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · 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.
