Adhyaya 32 — Rules for Parvana Śrāddha: Foods that Please the Ancestors and Items to Avoid
इति श्रीमार्कण्डेयपुराणेऽलर्कानुशासने पार्वणश्राद्धकल्पोनाम एकत्रिंशोऽध्यायः ।
द्वात्रिंशोऽध्यायः ।
मदालसोवाच ।
अतः परं शृणुष्वेमं पुत्र ! भक्त्या यदाहृतम् ।
पितॄणां प्रीतये यद्वा वर्ज्यं वा प्रीतिकारकम् ॥
iti śrīmārkaṇḍeyapurāṇe 'larkānuśāsane pārvaṇaśrāddhakalpo nāma ekatriṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ | dvātriṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ | madālasa uvāca | ataḥ paraṃ śṛṇuṣvemaṃ putra! bhaktyā yad āhṛtam | pitṝṇāṃ prītaye yad vā varjyaṃ vā prītikārakam ||
Assim termina, no Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa, no ensinamento a Alarka, o trigésimo primeiro capítulo chamado ‘O Procedimento do Śrāddha Pārvaṇa’. Agora começa o trigésimo segundo capítulo. Madālasa disse: “Doravante, escuta, meu filho, com devoção, o que é ensinado—o que dá prazer aos Pitṛs, o que deve ser evitado e o que aumenta a sua satisfação.”

FAQs
Dharma teaching is framed as affectionate transmission: Madālasa structures the next unit around discernment—knowing what truly pleases the ancestors versus what undermines the rite.
This is a paratextual transition into further Ācāra/Dharma material; it does not directly treat sarga/pratisarga/manvantara/vaṃśa/vaṃśānucarita.
The shift from ‘procedure’ to ‘pleasing/avoiding’ indicates a movement from external correctness to inner alignment—intention and suitability (aucitya) as the subtle core of ritual.
