बंधुच्या सल्यानी नार मुंबईला गेली
कुकुपरास टिकली कपाळाला लावली
bandhucyā salyānī nāra mumbaīlā gēlī
kukuparāsa ṭikalī kapāḷālā lāvalī

✎ On brother’s advice, the woman went to Mumbai
Rather than kunku* (in powder form), she applies a circular red patch on the forehead
▷ (बंधुच्या)(सल्यानी)(नार)(मुंबईला) went
▷ (कुकुपरास)(टिकली)(कपाळाला)(लावली)
