Adhyaya 32 — Rules for Parvana Śrāddha: Foods that Please the Ancestors and Items to Avoid
कदा नः सन्ततावग्र्यः कस्यचिद् भविता सुतः ।
यो योगिभुक्तशोषान्नो भुवि पिण्डं प्रदास्यति ॥
kadā naḥ santatāv agryaḥ kasyacid bhavitā sutaḥ / yo yogibhukta-śoṣānno bhuvi piṇḍaṃ pradāsyati
பித்ருக்கள் பாடுகின்றனர்—“எப்போது, உண்மையில், எதோ ஒரு குலத்தில் எங்களுக்காக முதன்மையான மகன் பிறப்பான்? யோகிகள் உண்ட பின் மீதமுள்ள அன்னத்திலிருந்து பூமியில் பிண்டத்தை அர்ப்பணிப்பவன்.”

FAQs
Lineage is framed as responsibility: the ‘best son’ is defined by sustaining intergenerational dharma (piṇḍa and śrāddha), especially with reverence to spiritually advanced guests (yogins).
Primarily ācāra-dharma and pitṛ-rite liturgy; only secondarily connected to vaṃśa through the emphasis on santati (progeny/continuity).
The ‘remainder after yogins eat’ symbolizes sanctified residue (ucchiṣṭa in a positive, consecrated sense): what passes through a purified consciousness becomes potent and fit to be transmuted into subtle offering for ancestors.
