Pitṛyajña/Śrāddha
एवं विनिस्सृते प्राणे संसारं च न गच्छति ॥ नष्टसंज्ञं समुद्धिश्य ज्ञात्वा मृत्युवशङ्गतम् ॥
evaṃ vinissṛte prāṇe saṃsāraṃ ca na gacchati || naṣṭasaṃjñaṃ samuddiśya jñātvā mṛtyuvaśaṅgatam ||
जब प्राण निकल जाते हैं इस तरह से, तो वो फिर से दुनिया में नहीं आता। उसको पता चलना चाहिए कि उसकी होश चली गई है और मरने वाला हो गया है। तभी उसको सही तरीका से समझाना चाहिए।
