બેઠક Bethak

ત્રણ બોલાવ્યા તો તેર આવ્યા, બાહેરવાલા ખાઈ ગયા, એ અહીંની રીત, ને ધરવાળા ભુખ્યાં રહી ગાય ગીત.

traṇa bōlāvyā tō tēra āvyā, bāhēravālā khāī gayā, ē ahīṁnī rīta, nē dharavāḷā bhukhyāṁ rahī gāya gīta.

Literally
When three were invited, thirteen came, the outsiders ate it up, that is the way here, and the family members stayed hungry and sang songs.
What it means
It is a critique of hospitality where guests take advantage and the hosts suffer.
કહેવત સમુદાય (Kahevat Samuday) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
