कः कालो विहितः श्राद्धे कानि द्रव्याणि मे वद । श्राद्धार्हाणि तथान्यानि मेध्यानि द्वि जसत्तम । यानि योज्यानि वांछद्भिः पितृणां तृप्तिमुत्तमाम्
kaḥ kālo vihitaḥ śrāddhe kāni dravyāṇi me vada | śrāddhārhāṇi tathānyāni medhyāni dvi jasattama | yāni yojyāni vāṃchadbhiḥ pitṛṇāṃ tṛptimuttamām
ଶ୍ରାଦ୍ଧରେ କେଉଁ କାଳ ବିହିତ? କେଉଁ କେଉଁ ଦ୍ରବ୍ୟ? ଶ୍ରାଦ୍ଧାର୍ହ ଏବଂ ଅନ୍ୟ ମେଧ୍ୟ (ଶୁଦ୍ଧ) ପଦାର୍ଥମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ, ହେ ଦ୍ୱିଜଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ—ଯେଉଁମାନେ ପିତୃମାନଙ୍କର ପରମ ତୃପ୍ତି ସାଧନ କରନ୍ତି, ସେଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ ମୋତେ କହ।
Ānarta (king of Ānarta)
Scene: The king asks for precise rules: which times are ordained for śrāddha and which substances are fit and pure, seeking the highest satisfaction of the Pitṛs.
Dharma is practical: correct timing, purity, and appropriate offerings are integral to ancestral satisfaction.
No tīrtha is named; the focus is on śrāddha procedure.
Inquiry into the prescribed time (kāla) and the proper/pure substances (dravya, medhya) to be used in śrāddha.
