બેઠક Bethak

સાસુ કહે રાંડ, વહુ કહે રાંડ, વચ્ચે દીકરાના ધાણ.

sāsu kahē rāṁḍa, vahu kahē rāṁḍa, vaccē dīkarānā dhāṇa.

Literally
The mother-in-law calls her a wretch, the daughter-in-law calls her a wretch, and in between, the son is ruined.
What it means
Constant bickering between two closely related rivals ultimately destroys the person caught in the middle.
The English proverb Shah set beside it
Two of a trade seldom agree.
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.
