गंगाच्या कडाला काऊळ्याची काव काव
पिंडाला कशी शिऊ मैनाजवळ सारा जिव
gaṅgācyā kaḍālā kāūḷyācī kāva kāva
piṇḍālā kaśī śiū mainājavaḷa sārā jiva

✎ On the bank of the river, crows are crowing
How will they touch the Pind*, all my heart is in my Mina

Pind

A ritual observed on the tenth day of mourning, when a rice cake is kept in the open and if a crow touches it, it is believed that the soul is liberated and no wish of the dead person is remaining behind. If a crow doesn’t touch the rice cake, close relatives come forward and one by one say they will fulfill his/her wish which they think has remained unfulfilled or about which the soul is worried.
