To be forgotten or destroyed.
خلفية ثقافية
The 'Nannangadi' or burial urns found in Kerala are physical manifestations of this idiom. They show how ancient people literally 'settled' their dead in the soil. Poets like Vayalar Rama Varma often used this phrase to talk about the equality of all humans in death—how the king and the beggar both 'return to the same soil.' In rural Kerala, the soil is seen as a mother (Mannu-Amma). Returning to the soil is not seen as a scary thing, but a natural return to the mother.
