Isto foi ensinado pelos conhecedores dos fogos sagrados: a oferenda anvāhārya é o rito pārvana. Assim como é prescrita no minguar da lua, do mesmo modo se declara que se aplica também em outros casos.

FAQs
“Pārvana” refers to a ritual associated with a parvan—key lunar divisions/phases (fortnightly junctions). Here it identifies the anvāhārya offering as belonging to that lunar-phase-based observance.
It cites the moon’s waning as a standard, well-known occasion when this rite is prescribed, and then extends the applicability by stating it is also taught to be performed in other relevant contexts.
It frames ritual practice as guided by established authorities (“agnimataḥ”) and indicates that a rule known for one specific timing (moon’s waning) can be generalized where tradition also prescribes it.
