atha viprānpravakṣyāmi śrāddhe ye kecana kṣamāḥ | viśiṣṭaḥ śrotriyo yogī vedavidyāsamanvitaḥ
ఇప్పుడు శ్రాద్ధంలో ఆహ్వానించుటకు యోగ్యులైన బ్రాహ్మణులను నేను వివరిస్తాను—విశిష్టుడు, శ్రోత్రియుడు, యోగి, మరియు వేదవిద్యా-శాస్త్రజ్ఞానంతో సమన్వితుడు.
Śiva (continuing instruction) (deduced from continuity of didactic tone in the Devī dialogue block)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī/Pārvatī
Scene: A line of invited brāhmaṇas seated for śrāddha: one recites Veda (śrotriya), one sits in yogic composure, another holds a manuscript; the patron respectfully offers water and food, emphasizing discernment and honor.
Śrāddha is strengthened by the worthiness of those honored; dharma emphasizes learning, discipline, and spiritual integrity.
The guidance belongs to Prabhāsakṣetra-māhātmya, presenting Prabhāsa as a setting where śrāddha should follow high standards of dharmic propriety.
Lists qualifications for brāhmaṇas suitable for śrāddha invitation: distinguished, śrotriya, yogin, and endowed with Vedic learning.
