bhaviṣyati kimasmākamamāvāsyāpyamāhake | snānaṃ dānaṃ ca ye kuryuḥ pitṝṇāṃ tilatarpaṇam
«Что будет с нами — даже в амавасью, даже в месяце магха?» — так они тревожатся. Те же, кто совершает омовение, подаяние и приносит Питрам тила-тарпану — возлияние воды с кунжутом, — подают им поддержку.
Sūta (deduced; voicing the Pitṛs’ concern within narration)
Type: ghat
Listener: King
Scene: Pilgrims at river steps on Amāvāsyā in Māgha: bathing, giving alms, and offering sesame-water libations; pitṛs symbolically ‘supported’ by the rite.
Regular observances—especially on Amāvāsyā and in Māgha—sustain the bond of obligation and grace between descendants and ancestors.
The Revā Khaṇḍa’s sacred waters are the implied setting for snāna and tarpaṇa.
Snāna (holy bath), dāna (charity), and tila-tarpaṇa (sesame-water libations) for the Pitṛs.
