He who reads the Atharvashiras, who is given to the observance of Brahmacharya practices, and who is steady in the observance of righteous vows, who is truthful and of pure conduct, and who duly satisfies the duties laid down for his order, they also who have undergone fatigue and labour for bathing in the sacred waters, who have done the final bath after celebrating sacrifices sacrifices with proper Mantras, who are freed from anger, who are not restless, who are endued with forgiveness, who are self controlled masters of their senses, and they who are devoted to the behoof of all creatures, these should be invited to Shraddhas. arent HTATET EN: Partaga:1
अथर्वशिरसोऽध्येता ब्रह्मचारी यतव्रतः। सत्यवादी धर्मशीलः स्वकर्मनिरतश्च सः॥ ये च पुण्येषु तीर्थेषु अभिषेककृतश्रमाः। मखेषु च समन्त्रेषु भवन्त्यवभृथप्लुताः॥ अक्रोधना ह्यचपलाः क्षान्ता दान्ता जितेन्द्रियाः। सर्वभूतहिता ये च श्राद्धेष्वेतान् निमन्त्रयेत्॥ एतेषु दत्तमक्षय्यमेते वै पङ्क्तिपावनाः। इमे परे महाभागा विज्ञेयाः पङ्क्तिपावनाः॥
