यासु तोयमपि क्ष्मायां प्रदत्तं तिलमिश्रितम् । पितृभ्योऽक्षयतां याति श्रद्धापूतेन चेतसा
yāsu toyamapi kṣmāyāṃ pradattaṃ tilamiśritam | pitṛbhyo'kṣayatāṃ yāti śraddhāpūtena cetasā
Nessas ocasiões, até mesmo a água oferecida sobre a terra, misturada com gergelim, alcança os Pitṛs (ancestrais) com efeito imperecível—quando é dada com a mente purificada pela fé.
Skanda (deduced)
Type: kshetra
Listener: nṛpa (king)
Scene: A devotee kneels at a sacred ground near a tīrtha, pouring water mixed with black sesame onto the earth while invoking Pitṛs; subtle presence of ancestral figures receiving the offering as luminous silhouettes.
Faith (śraddhā) sanctifies even simple offerings; sincerity can make a minimal act spiritually inexhaustible.
No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; it emphasizes the power of auspicious times and faithful tarpaṇa.
Offer tilodaka (water mixed with sesame) for the Pitṛs; when done on the stated occasions with śraddhā, it becomes akṣaya.
