બેઠક Bethak

સાત વીશે સો સમજે તે ખેડુત. (રાજો.)

sāta vīśē sō samajē tē khēḍuta. (rājō.)

Literally
The farmer is one who understands seven twenties as a hundred.
What it means
Said of simple, uneducated rural folk who have their own practical but mathematically incorrect ways of calculating.
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.
