બેઠક Bethak

રોહિણિ સુવા તો બળદીઆ સુવા; રોહિણિ ગાજે તો બહાતરૂં બાળે.

rōhiṇi suvā tō baḷadīā suvā; rōhiṇi gājē tō bahātarūṁ bāḷē.

Literally
If Rohini sleeps, the oxen sleep; if Rohini thunders, it burns seventy-two.
What it means
Drought during Rohini leaves farm animals idle, while early thundering without rain destroys crops.
