मध्याह्नः खड्गपात्रं तु तथान्ये कालकम्बलाः । रूप्यं दर्भांस्तिला गावो दौहित्रश्चाष्टमः स्मृतः
madhyāhnaḥ khaḍgapātraṃ tu tathānye kālakambalāḥ | rūpyaṃ darbhāṃstilā gāvo dauhitraścāṣṭamaḥ smṛtaḥ
Sa katanghalian, naroon ang ‘khaḍga-pātra’ (sisidlang sungay), at gayundin ang iba—kāla-kambala, pilak, damong darbha, linga, mga baka, at ang dauhitra—na inaalala bilang walo (mapalad na pantulong) dito.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A ritual spread of eight items is displayed: midday sun overhead; a horn-vessel (khaḍga-pātra), a dark woolen blanket (kāla-kambala), silver, darbha, sesame, a cow with calf, and a young grandson (dauhitra) present as the eighth; priests prepare tarpaṇa.
Śrāddha is strengthened by specific sanctifiers—time, purity-items, and gifts—so the rite becomes protected and fruitful.
Prabhāsakṣetra, where the tradition details the ‘Kutapa’ supports for śrāddha.
Use the Kutapa set: midday and prescribed items such as darbha, sesame, cows, silver, and specific ritual vessels/cloths.
