उंडे पार्वती - Unde Parvati
चौथी वही बापजी पिंडाला
गंगा भागीरथी जाई पाण्याच्या दंडाला
cauthī vahī bāpajī piṇḍālā
gaṅgā bhāgīrathī jāī pāṇyācyā daṇḍālā		✎ My fourth song to my father’s Pind*
Ganga Bhagirathi is proceeding to the water course ahead as is the practice
▷ (चौथी)(वही) father (पिंडाला)
▷  The_Ganges (भागीरथी)(जाई)(पाण्याच्या)(दंडाला) 		pas de traduction en français
PindA 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.
Notes =>Since this song has a spiritual implication, an effort is made to understand what could be its meaning. Just as Savashin* are called Sou or Soubhagyavati, it is a practice to call widows as Ganga Bhagirathi. Here, the singer says, my mother is going to the water course where my father’s Pind* is kept, for the sake of giving peace to his soul.
