तस्मात्कुरु प्रसादं मे तत्र गत्वा कपालकम् । चूर्णं कृत्वा मदीयं तत्तस्मिंस्तोये विनिक्षिप
tasmātkuru prasādaṃ me tatra gatvā kapālakam | cūrṇaṃ kṛtvā madīyaṃ tattasmiṃstoye vinikṣipa
لہذا مجھ پر رحم کریں: وہاں جائیں، میری کھوپڑی (بقیات) لیں، اسے پیس کر سفوف بنائیں، اور اس پانی میں بہا دیں۔
Preta (a departed spirit)
Type: tirtha
Scene: A supplicant spirit or afflicted being implores a compassionate pilgrim: carry my skull-remains, grind to powder, and immerse them into the sacred water of a tīrtha.
Compassionate ritual action performed at a tīrtha can aid suffering beings and support liberation-oriented dharma.
The sacred waters at the Hāṭakeśvara confluence region (Gaṅgā–Yamunā saṅgama).
Powdering the skull/remains and immersing them into the tīrtha water as a means to help the preta.
