यद्यप्यश्रोत्रियं श्राद्धं यद्यप्युपहतं भवेत् । पक्षश्राद्धकृतं पुण्यं दिनेनैकेन लभ्यते
yadyapyaśrotriyaṃ śrāddhaṃ yadyapyupahataṃ bhavet | pakṣaśrāddhakṛtaṃ puṇyaṃ dinenaikena labhyate
Kahit ang śrāddha ay maisagawa para sa hindi karapat-dapat na tatanggap, kahit ito’y mapinsala sa anumang paraan, ang kabutihang bunga ng śrāddha ng buong kalahating buwan ay nakakamtan sa iisang araw (dito).
Skanda (deduced from Dvārakā Māhātmya narrative style)
Tirtha: Gomatī–Samudra Saṅgama (Dvārakā)
Type: sangam
Scene: A pilgrim performs śrāddha offerings at the river-mouth where the Gomati meets the ocean; priests, darbha grass, piṇḍas, and libations; the sea as Varuṇa’s realm in the background; a sense of sacred efficiency—one day equaling a fortnight.
A highly sanctified tīrtha can compensate for human limitations, magnifying sincere ancestral rites.
The context is the Gomatī–Udadhisaṅgama tīrtha in Dvārakā Māhātmya.
It emphasizes the extraordinary fruit of performing śrāddha at this tīrtha—even if the rite has customary defects.
