ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૧૮:૧૬
વ્યક્તિની ભેટ તેને માટે માર્ગ ખુલ્લો કરે છે અને તેને મહત્વની વ્યક્તિની સમક્ષ લઈ જાય છે.

भेंट मनुष्य के लिये मार्ग खोल देती है, और उसे बड़े लोगों के सामने पहुँचाती है।

In context

14A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?

15The heart of the discerning gets knowledge. The ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

16A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.

17He who pleads his cause first seems right— until another comes and questions him.

18The lot settles disputes, and keeps strong ones apart.
