Educational Q&A
That śrāddha should be performed with correctness: the right timing, the prescribed procedure, suitable recipients (pātra), and an understanding that merit (phala) follows when the rite is done properly.
Śakra (Indra) concludes or summarizes an instruction: he states that the schedule for śrāddha, along with its rules, eligible recipients, and the resulting benefits, has been fully explained.
