तस्य केशा निपतिता भूमौ काशत्वमागताः । तस्मान्मेध्याः सदा काशाः श्राद्धकर्मणि पूजिताः
tasya keśā nipatitā bhūmau kāśatvamāgatāḥ | tasmānmedhyāḥ sadā kāśāḥ śrāddhakarmaṇi pūjitāḥ
Ang mga buhok niya, nang mahulog sa lupa, ay naging kāśa na damo. Kaya ang kāśa ay laging dalisay at pinararangalan sa pagsasagawa ng Śrāddha.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced)
Tirtha: Pitṛ-tīrtha materials at Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Scene: A visionary moment: Prajāpati Bahukeśa’s abundant hair falls to earth and transforms into shimmering kāśa grass; priests gather the grass reverently for śrāddha, with the sea and temple horizon of Prabhāsa behind.
Purity in ritual is not merely physical; it is rooted in sacred origin-stories that consecrate materials for dhārmic use.
The teaching occurs in Prabhāsa Kṣetra Māhātmya while detailing proper Śrāddha arrangements in the sacred region.
Use and honor kāśa grass as a pure (medhya) material in Śrāddha rites.
