Hence, the Brahmana who is invited to a Shraddha for eating the offerings should eat them after purifying himself by a bath and remain pious for that day by abstaining form every kind of injury or evil. The progeny of such a person multiplies and he also who feeds him gets the same reward.
तस्मात् स्नातः शुचिः क्षान्तः श्राद्धंभुञ्जीत वै द्विजः।। प्रजा विवर्धते चास्य यश्चैवं सम्प्रयच्छति।
