आचांतेषु च विप्रेषु पिंडं निर्वापयेत्ततः । स्वस्तिवा चनकं कुर्यादक्षय्योदकमेव च ॥ ७१ ॥
ācāṃteṣu ca vipreṣu piṃḍaṃ nirvāpayettataḥ | svastivā canakaṃ kuryādakṣayyodakameva ca || 71 ||
Когда брахманы совершат ачаману, тогда следует возложить подношение пинда. Затем надлежит произнести благопожелание (свасти-вачана) и также совершить обряд «неиссякаемой воды» (акшайя-удака).

It fixes the proper sequence of a Śrāddha rite—purification (ācamana), offering the piṇḍa, invoking auspicious blessings (svasti-vācana), and sealing the act with akṣayya-udaka—so the ancestral offering becomes ritually complete and spiritually effective.
Though primarily ritual, it reflects bhakti through disciplined, reverent service—honoring brāhmaṇas and ancestors as a sacred duty performed with purity and auspicious invocation, aligning household action with dharma-oriented devotion.
Kalpa (ritual procedure) is central: the verse gives a precise order of Śrāddha components—ācamana protocol, piṇḍa-nirvāpaṇa, svasti-vācana (mantric benediction), and the akṣayya-udaka libation.
