Nakṣatra-Śrāddha (Ancestral Rites Connected with Asterisms) — नक्षत्रश्राद्धम्
शंयुरुवाच गयादीनां फलं तात ब्रूहि मे परिपृच्छतः / दातॄणां चैव यत्पुण्यं निखिलेन प्रवीहि मे
śaṃyuruvāca gayādīnāṃ phalaṃ tāta brūhi me paripṛcchataḥ / dātṝṇāṃ caiva yatpuṇyaṃ nikhilena pravīhi me
Śaṃyu said: “Dear father, tell me—since I ask—the fruit of Gayā and the other sacred places. And explain to me in full the merit gained by those who give.”
