Shloka 60
तर्पणानि च मुख्यानि वन्यमूलफलानि च । सर्वकामगुणोपेतं विप्रेभ्यो$न्नं प्रदापयेत्
tarpaṇāni ca mukhyāni vanyamūlaphalāni ca | sarvakāmagunopetaṃ viprebhyo 'nnaṃ pradāpayet ||
Vaiśampāyana dit : «Qu’on offre les libations principales (tarpana) et, de plus, qu’on donne d’excellentes racines et fruits de la forêt, capables de rassasier véritablement, ainsi qu’une nourriture pourvue de toutes les qualités désirables, en don aux brāhmanes. Cet enseignement magnifie la générosité selon le dharma : que l’offrande soit accomplie non seulement dans la forme, mais dans la nourriture réelle et le soin respectueux dû aux récipiendaires dignes.»

Educational Q&A
Dharma is fulfilled through complete and considerate giving: perform the proper rites (tarpaṇa) and also provide genuinely satisfying nourishment—good food and available forest produce—to worthy brāhmaṇas, ensuring the gift has real benefit and is offered with respect.
Vaiśampāyana continues describing prescribed acts of merit in the Svargārohaṇa context, outlining how one should conduct offerings and charitable feeding—especially to brāhmaṇas—by giving high-quality food and sustaining provisions such as forest roots and fruits.
