विश्वामित्र उवाच । अमावास्यादिने प्राप्ते तत्र कन्यागते रवौ । यः श्राद्धं कुरुते भक्त्या स पितॄंस्तारयेन्निजान्
viśvāmitra uvāca | amāvāsyādine prāpte tatra kanyāgate ravau | yaḥ śrāddhaṃ kurute bhaktyā sa pitṝṃstārayennijān
விச்வாமித்ரர் கூறினார்—அமாவாசை நாளில், சூரியன் கன்னி ராசியில் இருக்கும் போது, அங்கே பக்தியுடன் சிராத்தம் செய்பவன் தன் பித்ருக்களைத் தாரைபடுத்துவான்.
Viśvāmitra
Type: ghat
Scene: Viśvāmitra instructs pilgrims at a sacred ford: amāvāsyā twilight, offerings of piṇḍa and tila-jala, a small altar with darbha, and a line of ancestors envisioned receiving the oblations.
Devotional śrāddha performed at the right time and place is portrayed as a powerful act of filial dharma that benefits one’s lineage.
The previously mentioned tīrtha (Gayākūpī context), where śrāddha on Amāvāsyā during Kanyā-gata Ravi is especially efficacious.
Perform śrāddha there on Amāvāsyā when the Sun is in Virgo (Kanyā), with bhakti, for pitṛ-deliverance.
