सोमाय पितृमते स्वधेति च ततः परम् । हुतमन्नं च शेषं च श्राद्धार्हेभ्यः प्रदीयते

somāya pitṛmate svadheti ca tataḥ param | hutamannaṃ ca śeṣaṃ ca śrāddhārhebhyaḥ pradīyate

FAQs

Ancestral rites unite offering and charity: mantra to Soma and giving food to the worthy completes the dharmic circuit of merit.

The verse emphasizes śrāddha completion and dāna; it does not identify the tīrtha by name.

Offer an āhuti to Soma with “svadhā,” then distribute both the offered and remaining food to śrāddha-eligible brāhmaṇas.
