The verse teaches that honoring the ancestors (Pitṛs) through śrāddha/pūjā on specific lunar days is a dharmic act believed to yield distinct household-oriented fruits—marital harmony and progeny, or material supports like horses and livestock—thus linking ritual duty to social and domestic well-being.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma, including rites for the ancestors. Here he enumerates the reputed results of performing Pitṛ-worship on particular tithis (Pratipadā through Caturthī), presenting a calendrical guide to śrāddha observance and its expected outcomes.
