अध्याय १३२ — कर्मणा मनसा वाचा: स्वर्गमार्गः तथा आयुर्विपाकः
Adhyāya 132 — The path to heaven through deed, mind, and speech; karmic results for lifespan
पितरश्न न तुष्यन्ति वर्षाण्यपि त्रयोदश । यह परम गोपनीय रहस्यकी बात सुनो। श्राद्धमें
gārgya uvāca | pitaraś ca na tuṣyanti varṣāṇy api trayodaśa | yat parama-gopanīyaṁ rahasyaṁ tad idaṁ śṛṇu | śrāddhe yajñe tīrthe ca parvaṇi ca dineṣu devatārthaṁ yat haviṣyaṁ saṁskriyate | tad yadi rajasvalā kuṣṭhī vā vandhyā vā strī paśyet, tad-dṛṣṭaṁ haviṣyaṁ devā na gṛhṇanti; pitaraś ca trayodaśa-varṣāṇy asantuṣṭā bhavanti || śukla-vāsāḥ śucir bhūtvā brāhmaṇān svasti-vācayet | kīrtayed bhārataṁ caiva tathā syād akṣayaṁ haviḥ |
ガールギャは言った。「祖霊（Pitṛs）は満足しない——十三年にわたってさえ。最も秘められたこの教えを聞け。シュラーダ（śrāddha）の日、供犠の日、聖地巡礼（tīrtha）に関わる行、あるいは聖なる節日（parvan）に、神々のために整えた供物（havis）が、月経中の女、癩病の女、また子を得ぬ女の目に触れるなら、神々はそれを受け取らず、祖霊も十三年のあいだ満たされぬ。ゆえにシュラーダと供犠の日には、沐浴して清浄となり、白衣をまとい、バラモンに吉祥の祝詞（svasti）を唱えさせ、さらに『バーラタ』（Bhārata）を誦せよ。そうすれば、神々と祖霊への供えは尽きることがない。」
गार्ग्य उवाच
Educational Q&A
The passage stresses the perceived importance of ritual purity and careful conduct around offerings: improper exposure of oblations is said to obstruct divine acceptance and ancestral satisfaction, while purification, auspicious benedictions, and recitation of the Mahābhārata are presented as means to secure enduring (akṣaya) ritual fruit.
Gārgya is instructing about śrāddha and sacrificial procedure, warning of consequences if offerings are viewed by certain persons deemed ritually inauspicious in that discourse, and then prescribing corrective/positive practices—bathing, wearing white, svasti-recitation by brāhmaṇas, and Bhārata recitation—to ensure the offerings’ efficacy.
