वत्स लक्ष्मण शुश्रूषां विप्राणां श्राद्धसंभवाम् । पादप्रक्षालनाद्यां त्वं यथावत्कर्तुमर्हसि
vatsa lakṣmaṇa śuśrūṣāṃ viprāṇāṃ śrāddhasaṃbhavām | pādaprakṣālanādyāṃ tvaṃ yathāvatkartumarhasi
يا بُنيّ لاكشمانا، في وقت شرادها ينبغي لك أن تؤدي خدمة البراهمة على الوجه اللائق، مبتدئًا بغسل أقدامهم وما يتبع ذلك من الأعمال المأثورة.
Rāma (Rāghava) addressing Lakṣmaṇa
Type: ghat
Scene: Lakṣmaṇa kneels with a water vessel, washing the feet of seated brāhmaṇas in a śrāddha pavilion; Rāma stands nearby instructing with calm authority.
Śrāddha is upheld through reverent hospitality—service to worthy brāhmaṇas is treated as a dharmic act supporting ancestral rites.
The broader chapter is within a Tīrthamāhātmya, but this verse focuses on śrāddha conduct rather than naming a specific site.
Service to brāhmaṇas during śrāddha, explicitly including pāda-prakṣālana (washing of the feet) and related customary honors.
