બેઠક Bethak

પાસ ન દેખું પારધી, અંગ ન દેખું બાણ;

pāsa na dēkhuṁ pāradhī, aṁga na dēkhuṁ bāṇa;

Literally
I see no hunter nearby, I see no arrow in my body;
What it means
The pain of love is invisible and has no obvious external cause, yet it wounds the soul deeply.

  • હું તુંજ પુંઠ પંડિતા, કઈ પેર છાંઘા પ્રાણ?
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.
