Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 47
सा भवेच्च न सन्देहः पुण्यदा पैतृकी तिथिः । तस्यां श्राद्धं प्रकर्तव्यं संभाराः संभृताश्च ये
sā bhavecca na sandehaḥ puṇyadā paitṛkī tithiḥ | tasyāṃ śrāddhaṃ prakartavyaṃ saṃbhārāḥ saṃbhṛtāśca ye
निःसंशय ही पितृतिथी पुण्यदायिनी आहे। त्या दिवशी जमलेल्या ज्या सामग्रीने शक्य होईल त्या सामग्रीने विधिपूर्वक श्राद्ध अवश्य करावे।
