As Sarkar rarely gave titles to his songs, the songs are referenced by their first line. In other words, the first line of each song is treated as the song's title. Whenever identification of a song on the basis of the first line alone might be ambiguous, that song is distinguished by adding the second line of the song, generally separated from the first line by a comma.<ref name=PSV1/><ref name=PSV2/><ref name=PSV3/><ref name=PSV4/><ref name=PSV5/><ref name=PSV6/><ref name=PSV7/><ref name=PSV8/><ref name=PS1/><ref name="PRS Vol1-10"/>
