Śrāddha-kalpa: Amarakantaka–Tīrtha-Māhātmya and Akṣaya Pitṛ-Tarpaṇa
अर्चितास्तेन वै साक्षाद्भवन्ति पितरः सदा / अस्मिंल्लोके वशी च स्यात्प्रेत्य स्वर्गे मही यते
arcitāstena vai sākṣādbhavanti pitaraḥ sadā / asmiṃlloke vaśī ca syātpretya svarge mahī yate
By that act the Pitṛs are, indeed, directly honored always. In this world he becomes powerful and self-possessed; after death he is exalted in heaven.
