Umā–Maheśvara Saṃvāda
यत् कृत्वा तु नर: सम्यक् सुखी भवति विज्वर: । गवां मूत्रपुरीषेण पयसा च घृतेन च
yat kṛtvā tu naraḥ samyak sukhī bhavati vijvaraḥ | gavāṁ mūtra-purīṣeṇa payasā ca ghṛtena ca hṛṣyanti pitaraś cāsya śrāddha-kāla upasthite |
Dhaumya dit : En accomplissant correctement ce rite, l’homme devient heureux et délivré de l’inquiétude. Au moment du śrāddha, lorsque les offrandes sont faites avec l’urine et la bouse de vache, avec du lait et du ghee, ses ancêtres se réjouissent et s’approchent pour recevoir le rite.

Educational Q&A
Proper performance of prescribed ancestral/ritual duties (especially connected with śrāddha and purificatory offerings) is said to bring the performer well-being and mental ease, and to please the Pitṛs, who are understood to draw near at the śrāddha occasion.
Dhaugya describes the fruit of a specific rite: when it is carried out correctly—using substances associated with the cow (urine, dung, milk, ghee) in the context of śrāddha—the performer becomes free from distress, and the ancestors are delighted and present themselves at the time of the ancestral offering.
