Adhyāya 160: Dikpāla-Cosmography and the Sun’s Kālacakra (दिक्पाल-विश्ववर्णनम् तथा आदित्यस्य कालचक्रम्)

स्वे स्वे किल कुले जाते पुत्रे नप्तरि वा पुन: । पितर: पितृलोकस्था: शोचन्ति च हसन्ति च,“कहते हैं, जब-जब अपने-अपने कुलमें पुत्र अथवा नातीका जन्म होता है, तब-तब पितृलोकमें रहनेवाले पितर शोकमग्न होते हैं और हँसते भी हैं। शोक तो उन्हें यह सोचकर होता है कि “क्या हमें इसके पापमें हिस्सा बँटाना पड़ेगा?” और हँसते इसलिये हैं कि “क्या हमें इसके पुण्यका कुछ भाग मिलेगा? यदि ऐसा हो तो बड़ी अच्छी बात है!

sve sve kila kule jāte putre naptari vā punaḥ | pitaraḥ pitṛlokasthāḥ śocanti ca hasanti ca ||

Vaiśampāyana said: Whenever, in each family line, a son—or again a grandson—is born, the ancestors dwelling in the world of the Pitṛs both grieve and rejoice. They grieve, thinking, “Will we have to share in his sin?” and they rejoice, thinking, “Will some portion of his merit come to us? If so, that is indeed good.”
