Educational Q&A
The verse states a dharmaśāstra-style rule for ancestral rites: when performing nivāpa/piṇḍa and śrāddha, certain persons considered ritually obstructive (by traditional norms) should be kept away so the rite proceeds with prescribed purity and focus.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma, including detailed conduct for śrāddha and offerings to ancestors. Here he specifies who should be excluded from the ritual space at the time of the offering.
