શબ્દ શબ્દમાં ફેર છે, અર્થ અનર્થ મીઠાશ;

śabda śabdamāṁ phēra chē, artha anartha mīṭhāśa;

Literally
There is a difference between word and word, in meaning, non-meaning, and sweetness.
What it means
Words should be chosen carefully because the way something is said can change its impact from sweet to harmful.
