श्वा चैव हन्ति श्राद्धानि यातुधानाश्च दर्शनात् ।
तस्मात् सुसंवृतो दद्याद् तिलैश्चावकिरन् महीम् ॥
śvā caiva hanti śrāddhāni yātudhānāś ca darśanāt / tasmāt susaṃvṛto dadyāt tilaiś cāvakiran mahīm
الكلبُ يفسد حقّاً طقوسَ الشرادها śrāddha، وكذلك اليَاتُوذَانَة (yātudhāna—كائنات خبيثة مؤذية) يفسدونها بمجرد الظهور. لذلك ينبغي تقديم القرابين وهي مغطّاة ومحروسة بإحكام، وأن تُنثَر حبوبُ السمسم على الأرض.
