Umā–Maheśvara Saṃvāda
हृष्यन्ति पितरश्चास्य श्राद्धकाल उपस्थिते । उसका भलीभाँति अनुष्ठान करके मनुष्य सुखी और निश्चिन्त हो जाता है। द्विजको चाहिये कि वह निराहार एवं एकाग्रचित्त होकर तीन दिनोंतक गोमूत्र

Dhaugya berkata: “Apabila tiba waktunya śrāddha, para leluhur orang itu bersukacita dan mendekat. Dengan melaksanakan upacara dengan sempurna, seseorang menjadi tenteram dan bebas daripada kegelisahan. Seorang dvija (yang ‘dua kali lahir’) hendaklah berpuasa dan menumpukan fikiran; selama tiga hari ia mempersembahkan oblation ke dalam api dengan air kencing lembu, tahi lembu, susu lembu, dan ghee lembu. Kemudian, apabila genap setahun, para dewa menerima pemujaannya, dan para Pitṛ juga berkenan apabila musim śrāddha tiba di rumahnya.”

Educational Q&A
Properly performed śrāddha and disciplined ritual observance—done with fasting and focused mind—brings inner peace to the practitioner and is said to please both the gods and one’s ancestors, reinforcing the dharmic duty of gratitude and continuity toward forebears.
Dhaugya describes a prescribed observance for a dvija: for three days, while fasting and concentrating, one offers specific cow-derived substances as oblations into the fire; after a year’s completion, the gods accept the worship, and at the time of śrāddha the Pitṛs are especially pleased and present.
