कदा नः सन्ततावग्र्यः कस्यचिद् भविता सुतः ।

ਪਿਤਰ ਗਾਂਦੇ ਹਨ—“ਕਦੋਂ, ਸੱਚਮੁੱਚ, ਕਿਸੇ ਵੰਸ਼ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਾਡੇ ਲਈ ਇੱਕ ਸ਼੍ਰੇਸ਼ਠ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਜਨਮੇਗਾ, ਜੋ ਯੋਗੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਭੋਜਨ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਬਚੇ ਅੰਨ ਨਾਲ ਧਰਤੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਪਿੰਡ ਅਰਪਣ ਕਰੇਗਾ?”

Lineage is framed as responsibility: the ‘best son’ is defined by sustaining intergenerational dharma (piṇḍa and śrāddha), especially with reverence to spiritually advanced guests (yogins).
Primarily ācāra-dharma and pitṛ-rite liturgy; only secondarily connected to vaṃśa through the emphasis on santati (progeny/continuity).
The ‘remainder after yogins eat’ symbolizes sanctified residue (ucchiṣṭa in a positive, consecrated sense): what passes through a purified consciousness becomes potent and fit to be transmuted into subtle offering for ancestors.
