ये समाना इति द्वाभ्यामेतच्छ्राद्धं सपिण्डनम् । अमावास्यां तु यच्छ्राद्धं तत्पार्वणमुदाहृतम्
ye samānā iti dvābhyāmetacchrāddhaṃ sapiṇḍanam | amāvāsyāṃ tu yacchrāddhaṃ tatpārvaṇamudāhṛtam
Ang śrāddha na kaugnay ng ritwal na sapiṇḍana, ang pagsasanib ng yumao sa handog para sa mga ninuno, ay ipinahihiwatig ng dalawang mantra na nagsisimula sa “ye samānā…”. At ang śrāddha na isinasagawa sa araw ng amāvāsyā (bagong buwan) ay ipinahahayag na “pārvaṇa-śrāddha”.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) addressing the sages (deduced from Prabhāsa-khaṇḍa narrative style)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Night-to-dawn amāvāsyā setting at a tīrtha: the yajamāna and priest recite ‘ye samānā…’ while offering piṇḍas; a subtle ancestral presence is suggested; lamps flicker near water’s edge.
Ancestral rites are not generic; specific śrāddhas have specific liturgical markers and timings, preserving correctness and reverence toward the Pitṛs.
The teaching occurs within the Prabhāsakṣetra-māhātmya, tying orthodox Pitṛ-dharma to the sanctified landscape of Prabhāsa.
Sapiṇḍana-śrāddha is identified via the “ye samānā…” mantras; śrāddha done on Amāvasyā is defined as pārvaṇa-śrāddha.
