रमाबाई कुकु लावी जस मेणावरी गोल
भीम इवाइनात बोल दलिताचे काय हाल
ramābāī kuku lāvī jasa mēṇāvarī gōla
bhīma ivāināta bōla dalitācē kāya hāla

✎ Ramabai applies the round mark of kunku* on wax
Baba speaks from the plane, how are the Dalits* doing
▷ Ramabai kunku (लावी)(जस)(मेणावरी)(गोल)
▷ Bhim (इवाइनात) says (दलिताचे) why (हाल)

Bābā parle de l’avion. Quelle détresse que celle des dalit!
