Śrāddha-kalpa: Dāna-phala-nirdeśa
Gifts in Śrāddha and Their Fruits
छायायां हस्तिनश्चैव दत्त्वा श्राद्धेन शोचते / ओदनं पायसं सर्पिर्मधुमूलफलानि च
chāyāyāṃ hastinaścaiva dattvā śrāddhena śocate / odanaṃ pāyasaṃ sarpirmadhumūlaphalāni ca
Even if one gives in the shade, and even if one gives to an elephant, through the śrāddha one may yet grieve; therefore offer cooked rice, payasa, ghee, honey, roots, and fruits.
