तत्र श्राद्धं नरः कृत्वा गां दत्त्वा च पयस्विनीम् । यथोक्तसर्वाभरणां क्षीरोदे वासयेत्पितॄन्
tatra śrāddhaṃ naraḥ kṛtvā gāṃ dattvā ca payasvinīm | yathoktasarvābharaṇāṃ kṣīrode vāsayetpitṝn
وہاں انسان شرادھ کر کے، اور شاستر کے مطابق زیورات سے آراستہ دودھ دینے والی گائے دان کر کے، اپنے پِتروں کو ‘کشیرود’ (دودھ کے سمندر کے لوک) میں آسودگی سے بسنے کا سبب بنتا ہے۔
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kṣīrābdhi / Kṣīroda-tīrtha (before Keśava)
Type: ghat
Scene: At the Kṣīrābdhi tīrtha, a householder performs śrāddha with offerings; a well-adorned milk-cow is gifted; in a visionary overlay, satisfied ancestors dwell in a luminous ‘Kṣīroda’ realm.
Dharma toward one’s ancestors—performed at a potent tīrtha with proper charity—brings lasting welfare to the Pitṛs and merit to the doer.
Kṣīrābdhi/Kṣīroda tīrtha area in Kāśī, associated with ancestral rites.
Perform śrāddha and give go-dāna: a milk-yielding cow, adorned according to injunction.
