Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A ritual spread of eight items is displayed: midday sun overhead; a horn-vessel (khaḍga-pātra), a dark woolen blanket (kāla-kambala), silver, darbha, sesame, a cow with calf, and a young grandson (dauhitra) present as the eighth; priests prepare tarpaṇa.
Śrāddha is strengthened by specific sanctifiers—time, purity-items, and gifts—so the rite becomes protected and fruitful.
