Śrāddha-utpatti and Nivāpa–Agni Precedence (श्राद्धोत्पत्तिः—निवापेऽग्निपूर्वकत्वम्)
चित्रायां तु ददच्छाद्धं लभेद् रूपवत: सुतान् | स्वातियोगे पितृनर्च्य वाणिज्यमुपजीवति,चित्रामें श्राद्धका दान करनेवाले पुरुषको रूपवानू पुत्र प्राप्त होते हैं। स्वातीके योगमें पितरोंकी पूजा करनेवाला वाणिज्यसे जीवन-निर्वाह करता है
citrāyāṃ tu dadacchrāddhaṃ labhed rūpavataḥ sutān | svātiyoge pitṝn arcya vāṇijyam upajīvati ||
ビーシュマは言った。「月宿チトラー（Citrā）が勢いを得る時にシュラーダの施しをなす者は、容姿端麗な息子たちを得る。また、月宿スヴァーティー（Svātī）が合（ヨーガ）する時に祖霊（Pitṛs）を礼拝する者は、交易によって生計を立て—商いにより栄える。」

Educational Q&A
Bhishma links ancestral rites (śrāddha and Pitṛ-pūjā) performed at specific nakṣatra-times with specific fruits: offering śrāddha during Citrā is said to yield handsome offspring, while honoring the Pitṛs during Svātī supports success in trade. The ethical thrust is the value of Pitṛ-duty (pitṛ-yajña) and disciplined observance of rites.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhishma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma, including the conduct and fruits of śrāddha and related observances. Here he enumerates particular results attributed to performing ancestral worship at the times of the nakṣatras Citrā and Svātī.
