Narrative/ritual recitation within the Garuḍa Purāṇa tradition (mantra-style invocation; commonly situated in the Vishnu–Garuda dialogue framework)
Ritual Type: Parvana
Beneficiary: Pitr
Timing: During śrāddha/tarpaṇa preliminaries (often before pitṛ-tarpaṇa), as a universal śānti/appeasement.
Concept: Ritual completeness through universal propitiation (sarva-tarpaṇa) and removal/appeasement of obstacles (vighna).
Vedantic Theme: Interconnectedness of all beings within ṛta/dharma; yajña as a harmonizing act rather than mere transaction.
Application: Before ancestral rites or major vows, recite inclusive appeasement formulas to cultivate non-hostility, gratitude, and steadiness; treat ‘obstacles’ as forces to be pacified through right conduct and attention.
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
Type: ritual-space

FAQs
It is a ritual formula meaning “may they be satisfied,” used to propitiate many classes of beings and cosmic principles so that the rite proceeds peacefully and without obstruction.
The verse functions like a broad appeasement/peace invocation—aligning devas, spirits, and elemental forces—matching the śrāddha/tarpaṇa intent of offering satisfaction so no vighna (ritual impediment) arises.
Before performing ancestral offerings, funeral rites, or even a solemn vow, one can recite such satisfaction-invocations to cultivate ritual order, reverence for all beings, and a non-hostile environment.
