Varaha Purana 215.74: Adhyaya 215, Shloka 74
Description of the Māhātmya of Gokarṇeśvara and Jaleśvara (Śaileśvara) in the Śleṣmātaka Forest
यः श्राद्धे भोजनं दद्याद्विप्रेभ्यः श्रद्धयान्वितः ॥ सोऽमृताशी भवेनूनं त्रिदिवे सुरपूजितः ॥
yaḥ śrāddhe bhojanaṃ dadyād viprebhyaḥ śraddhayānvitaḥ || so 'mṛtāśī bhaven nūnaṃ tridive surapūjitaḥ ||
श्राद्ध के टाइम जो लोग पंडित को खाना खिलाते हैं, वो स्वर्ग में जाते हैं। वहाँ वो देवता लोग उनकी पूजा करते हैं। इनको अमृत मिलता है, यानी वो कभी नहीं मरते।
