पुष्पजात्यो यदा सृष्टास्तदा प्राक्छतपत्रिका । सृष्टा तेन च मुख्या सा श्राद्धकर्मणि सर्वदा
puṣpajātyo yadā sṛṣṭāstadā prākchatapatrikā | sṛṣṭā tena ca mukhyā sā śrāddhakarmaṇi sarvadā
फुलांच्या जाती निर्माण झाल्या तेव्हा प्रथम शतपत्रिका उत्पन्न झाली. त्यानेच तिला सदैव श्राद्धकर्मात मुख्य ठरविले.
Bhartṛyajña
Type: kshetra
Scene: A ritual tray for śrāddha prominently displays śatapatrikā blossoms; a priest places the flower upon piṇḍa offerings while invoking pitṛs; the flower’s many petals are highlighted as a sign of ‘foremost’ status.
Even simple offerings like flowers carry scriptural prioritization; choosing auspicious upacāras expresses reverence toward the pitṛs.
The verse is about śrāddha upacāra (offerings) within Tīrthamāhātmya and does not specify a tīrtha in this line.
It recommends śatapatrikā as a foremost flower for śrāddha rites.
