બેઠક Bethak

વગર વિચાર્યું વાહરીને, ગાડે લાવ્યા સલ;

vagara vicāryuṁ vāharīnē, gāḍē lāvyā sala;

Literally
Without thinking, having traded, they brought thorns in a cart;
What it means
Acting without foresight leads to bringing unnecessary troubles and burdens upon oneself.

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