બેઠક Bethak

સ્ત્રી ધનથી સાંપડે, પુત્ર સંયોગે હોય; માડીજાયો નહીં મળે, લાખે ખરચે કાય.

strī dhanathī sāṁpaḍē, putra saṁyōgē hōya; māḍījāyō nahīṁ maḷē, lākhē kharacē kāya.

Literally
A wife is found through wealth, a son is born through union; a brother born of the same mother cannot be found even with a million spent.
What it means
The bond with a sibling is unique and irreplaceable by any material means.

  • સ્ત્રી ધનથી સાંપડે, પુત્ર સંયોગે હોય;
  • માડીજાયો નહીં મળે, લાખે ખરચે કાય.
