બેઠક Bethak

સંધરી રાજી થાય બહુ, કપાય કાળજું કાઢતાં;

saṁdharī rājī thāya bahu, kapāya kāḷajuṁ kāḍhatāṁ;

Literally
Feeling very happy while hoarding, but the heart is torn when taking it out to spend;
What it means
Miserly people love to accumulate wealth but suffer immensely when they have to spend even a little of it.
