Upon the completion of Shraddha performed by a Vaishya, O Bharata, the word that should be uttered are; Let everything become endless! Likewise upon the completion of a Shraddha performed by a Shudra, the word that should be uttered is Svasti As regards a Brahmana, the Punyaham declaration should be accompanied with the utterance of the syllable Om. In the case of a Kshatriya, such declaration should be without the utterance of the syllable Om. In the acts performed by a Vaishya the words, instead of the syllable Om. should be Let the gods be pleased. Listen now to me as I tell you the rites that should be performed, one after another, as given in the ordinances.
अपवर्गे त वैश्यस्य श्राद्धकर्मणि भारत। अक्षय्यमभिधातव्यं स्वस्ति शूद्रस्य भारत॥ पुण्याहवाचनं दैवं ब्राह्मणस्य विधीयते। एतदेव निरोङ्कारं क्षत्रियस्य विधीयते॥ वैश्यस्य दैवे वक्तव्यं प्रीयन्तां देवता इति। कर्मणामानुपूर्वेण विधिपूर्वं कृतं शृणु॥
