दिव्यांतरिक्षभूमिस्थपितरो बांधवादयः । मृताश्चासंस्कृता ये च तेषां पिंडोस्तु मुक्तये
divyāṃtarikṣabhūmisthapitaro bāṃdhavādayaḥ | mṛtāścāsaṃskṛtā ye ca teṣāṃ piṃḍostu muktaye
جو پِتر اور عزیز و اقارب دیوی لوک، فضا (انترکش) یا زمین پر ہوں، اور جو لوگ بے رسومات (بے سنسکار) مر گئے ہوں—ان سب کی مکتی کے لیے یہ پِنڈ ہو۔
Ritual officiant/pilgrim reciting the piṇḍa-dāna saṅkalpa within the Prabhāsa-kṣetra-māhātmya narration (speaker not explicit in snippet)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Three-tier cosmic tableau: celestial ancestors above, mid-air gandharva-like space, and earthly spirits below; the piṇḍa offering at Prabhāsa sends a vertical stream of light connecting all tiers, especially reaching those depicted as ‘unrited’ dead—wandering, unadorned, and then becoming peaceful.
Sacred offerings at a tīrtha are believed to reach the departed across realms and compensate for missing funerary rites.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, as a place where pitṛ rites gain expansive reach and potency.
Piṇḍa-dāna aimed especially at those who died asaṃskṛta (without proper rites), seeking their mukti.
