There are many images used by the poet A.K. Ramanujan in the poem Obituary:

dust on a table of papers: means nothing.
named by a toss of coin by him: i.e. the name of young was somewhat similar to poet’s father.
being the burning type: it means that his father was bad-tempered.
eye coins: means that his eyes were greedy.
changed mother: in Brahmin Society, a widow has to live a painful life as she has no value after the death of her husband.
