બેઠક Bethak

શૂરા તેજ ધરે નહીં, જુધરણ કુંડે ગમાંડ; સત અચન પાલે નહીં, ઊલટ જાય બ્રહ્માંડ.

śūrā tēja dharē nahīṁ, judharaṇa kuṁḍē gamāṁḍa; sata acana pālē nahīṁ, ūlaṭa jāya brahmāṁḍa.

Literally
The brave do not lose their luster in the fury of the battlefield; even if the universe is overturned, they do not break their word of truth;
What it means
True heroes remain steadfast in battle and never break their promises, no matter how catastrophic the circumstances.

Also said as

  • શૂરા તેજ ધરે નહીં, જુધરણ કુંડે ગમાંડ;
  • સત અચન પાલે નહીં, ઊલટ જાય બ્રહ્માંડ.
