The couplet asks who is seated by the well's edge and then answers that it is the water pot.

This couplet is a sweet, playful riddle. The first line asks, "Who all sat by the water source?" This water source, called a 'virda' in Gujarati, is often a small well or a natural spring. The second line gives a charmingly simple answer: "Only the water pot sat." It's a delightful observation from daily life. People carry water pots, or 'bedlu', to these sources. The pot patiently waits to be filled, almost as if it's sitting there with a purpose. It personifies the inanimate pot, highlighting its essential role and close connection to the water source, painting a gentle, familiar village scene.
