ददाति यः पितृभ्यस्तु तिलपुष्पकुशोदकम् । त्रिःसप्तपूर्वजास्तस्य स्वर्गे मोदन्ति पाण्डव
dadāti yaḥ pitṛbhyastu tilapuṣpakuśodakam | triḥsaptapūrvajāstasya svarge modanti pāṇḍava
Hỡi Pāṇḍava, ai dâng lên các Pitṛ mè, hoa, cỏ kuśa và nước, thì tổ tiên của người ấy trong ba lần bảy đời đều hoan hỷ nơi cõi trời.
Skanda (deduced, addressing Yudhiṣṭhira as Pāṇḍava)
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā) tarpaṇa-tīrtha (contextual)
Type: ghat
Listener: Pāṇḍava
Scene: A pilgrim on a riverbank seated on kuśa, offering water mixed with sesame, flowers floating, hands in tarpaṇa gesture; subtle vision of ancestors rejoicing in svarga.
Purāṇic dharma emphasizes gratitude to lineage: offerings to the Pitṛs uplift not only the performer but also many generations of ancestors.
The context is the Narmadeśvara/Narmadā tīrtha setting in Revā Khaṇḍa, where Pitṛ-offerings are said to be especially fruitful.
Pitṛ-tarpaṇa/offerings using tila (sesame), puṣpa (flowers), kuśa, and udaka (water).
