Adhyaya 30 — Madālasā’s Instruction on Household Duties and Naimittika–Śrāddha Rites
मृताहनि यथान्यायं नॄणां यद्वदिहोदितम् ।
पुत्राभावे सपिण्डास्तु तदभावे सहोदकाः ॥
mṛtāhani yathānyāyaṃ nṝṇāṃ yadvad ihoditam |
putrābhāve sapiṇḍās tu tadabhāve sahodakāḥ ||
موت کے دن مردوں کے لیے طریقہ وہی ہے جو یہاں قاعدے کے مطابق بیان ہوا ہے۔ اگر بیٹا نہ ہو تو سپِنڈ رشتہ دار کریں؛ اور اگر وہ بھی نہ ہوں تو سہودک قرابت دار انجام دیں۔
