સગા વહાલા કહેવાના, ને ગાંઠે હોય તે ખાવાના.

sagā vahālā kahēvānā, nē gāṁṭhē hōya tē khāvānā.

Literally: Relatives are for talking, but what is in the knot (purse) is for eating.
What it means: One should rely on their own savings rather than expecting help from relatives.

કહેવત સમુદાય (Kahevat Samuday) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet
