प्रेतपक्षे कृते श्राद्धे कन्यासंस्थे दिवाकरे । एकस्मिन्नहनि प्रायस्तृप्तिः स्याद्वर्षसंभवा
pretapakṣe kṛte śrāddhe kanyāsaṃsthe divākare | ekasminnahani prāyastṛptiḥ syādvarṣasaṃbhavā
جب پریت پکش میں، اور سورج کنیا راشی میں ہو، شرادھ کیا جائے تو ایک ہی دن میں گویا سال بھر کی تسکین حاصل ہو جاتی ہے۔
Hiraṇyākṣa (statement within boon request context)
Tirtha: Pretapakṣa-śrāddha-kāla (Kanyā-ravi)
Type: ghat
Listener: Rājā (king)
Scene: A serene śrāddha scene: performer offers piṇḍa and water (tarpaṇa) with kuśa grass; the Sun is symbolically shown in Kanyā-rāśi; pitṛs appear satisfied, luminous, receiving offerings.
Proper season and cosmic timing amplify the fruit of śrāddha, turning a single day’s rite into enduring benefit.
No specific tīrtha is named; the emphasis is on the sacred time-window (Pretapakṣa with Sun in Kanyā).
Perform śrāddha during Pretapakṣa when the Sun is in Kanyā (Virgo) for greatly increased ancestral satisfaction.
