બેઠક Bethak

સતી, સાધક ઓર સુપડા, સતેસત ભાખત;

satī, sādhaka ōra supaḍā, satēsata bhākhata;

Literally
A chaste woman, a spiritual seeker, and a winnowing basket speak the absolute truth;
What it means
Just as a winnowing basket separates the chaff from the grain, virtuous and disciplined individuals discard the useless and retain only what is true and valuable.
