The Yaksha said: What is the direction (i.e. the path one should follow)? What is spoken of as water, what, as food and what, as poison? Relate what is the (proper) time of a Shraddha and then drink and carry away water,
यक्ष उवाच का दिक् किमुदकं प्रोक्तं किमन्नं किं च वै विषम्। श्राद्धस्य कालमाख्याहि ततः पिब हरस्व च॥
