श्राद्धं संपश्यते श्वा चेन्नारी चैव रजस्वला । अन्त्यजः शूकरश्चान्नं तदस्माकं तु भोजनम्
śrāddhaṃ saṃpaśyate śvā cennārī caiva rajasvalā | antyajaḥ śūkaraścānnaṃ tadasmākaṃ tu bhojanam
បើឆ្កែមើលឃើញពិធីស្រាទ្ធ ឬស្ត្រីមានរដូវ ឬអ្នកអន្ត្យជៈ (អ្នកក្រៅវណ្ណៈ) ឬជ្រូក មកឃើញអាហារនោះ—អាហារនោះក្លាយជាអាហាររបស់ព្រេតជាក់ស្តែង។
Pretāḥ
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Householders and officiants performing śrāddha in Prabhāsa context
Scene: A śrāddha setup with piṇḍas and offerings; a dog peers in, and other inauspicious intrusions are symbolically shown; pretas seize the subtle essence while the officiant reacts with alarm.
Śrāddha demands careful protection of the offering space; negligence diverts the intended merit away from the ancestors.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra, within whose māhātmya these śrāddha disciplines are taught.
Guard śrāddha food and the rite from disruptive/impure intrusion or visibility; maintain a controlled, sanctified setting for offerings.
