બેઠક Bethak

શ્રાવણની કાકડી, ભાદરવાની છાશ; તાવ સંદેશા મોકલે, આજ આવું કે કાલ?

śrāvaṇanī kākaḍī, bhādaravānī chāśa; tāva saṁdēśā mōkalē, āja āvuṁ kē kāla?

Literally
Cucumber in Shravan, buttermilk in Bhadrapada; fever sends a message, "Should I come today or tomorrow?"
What it means
Eating unseasonal or inappropriate food during specific months causes illness.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1921) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet
