Unspecified (Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya instructional narration)
Scene: A mixed row of dvijas at a śrāddha meal: a few visibly austere japa-devotees sit among ordinary participants; above, faint ancestral figures receive satisfaction; the yajamāna looks relieved.

Guidance on seating/associating diners: mixing with ‘paṅkti-pāvana’ Brāhmaṇas ensures ancestral satisfaction even if some participants are otherwise inferior.
