બેઠક Bethak

વર મરો કે કુનીઆ મરો, પણ બ્રહામણનુ દાપુ આપો. વધારે ડાહ્યા થાએ તે વધારે ખરદાએ.

vara marō kē kunīā marō, paṇa brahāmaṇanu dāpu āpō. vadhārē ḍāhyā thāē tē vadhārē kharadāē.

Literally
Whether the husband dies or the wife dies, give the Brahmin's share. He who becomes too wise gets crushed more.
What it means
Social obligations often persist regardless of personal tragedy, and excessive arrogance leads to downfall.
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.
