गंगाच्या कडेला पिंड कावळा घेईना
मैनाच्या बोलण्यानी राघु कबुल होईना
gaṅgācyā kaḍēlā piṇḍa kāvaḷā ghēīnā
mainācyā bōlaṇyānī rāghu kabula hōīnā

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.
Maina	The name of a bird. Commonly used as a term of endearment for the dear daughter
Raghu	Literal meaning is Parrot. But in the songs, they fondly call their son or brother Raghu
