Yudhishinira said If Brahmanas observing the vow of celibacy in this world eat, begging the same the offerings one makes during funeral rites, I ask can the shraddha be considered wellperformed if the performer actually makes over those offerings to such Brahmanas.
युधिष्ठिर उवाच यदि ते ब्राह्मणा लोके वतिनो भुञ्जते हविः। दत्तं ब्राह्मणकामाय कथं तत् सुकृतं भवेत्॥१६
