સાસુ કોઇની સાકર નહીં, ને મા કોઇની ડાકણ નહીં.

sāsu kōinī sākara nahīṁ, nē mā kōinī ḍākaṇa nahīṁ.

Literally: No one's mother-in-law is sugar, and no one's mother is a witch.
What it means: A mother-in-law is naturally strict and critical, whereas a biological mother is always loving and protective.
The English proverb Shah set beside it: Every mother thinks her own gosling a swan.
