The Pitris by begetting children and performing Shraddha and the other men by humanity and kindness, I have virtuously discharged my debts to the celestials, Rishis and other men. But there are those (Pitris) who are sure to perish at the dissolution of my body. O ascetics, I am not as yet free from the debt I owe to my ancestors.
पुत्रैः श्राद्धैः पितॄश्चापि आनृशंस्येन मानवान्। ऋषिदेवमनुष्याणां परिमुक्तोऽस्मि धर्मतः॥ त्रयाणामितरेषां तु नाश आत्मनि नश्यति। पित्र्यादृणादनिर्मुक्त इदानीमस्मि तापसाः॥
