तर्पयेच्च पितॄन्देवान्मनुष्यांश्च यथाक्रमम् । तर्पयित्वा हविर्द्रव्यं प्रोक्षयित्वा च भक्तितः
tarpayecca pitṝndevānmanuṣyāṃśca yathākramam | tarpayitvā havirdravyaṃ prokṣayitvā ca bhaktitaḥ
Nên dâng tārpaṇa (rưới nước cúng) cho tổ tiên, chư thiên và loài người theo đúng thứ tự; sau khi làm họ được thỏa mãn, với lòng sùng kính, hãy rảy nước thanh tịnh lên vật phẩm tế cúng (havis).
Deductive (Dvārakā Māhātmya narrator within Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa; traditionally Sūta speaking in Purāṇic frame)
Tirtha: Cakratīrtha
Type: ghat
Listener: Pilgrims/vipras
Scene: On stone steps by the water, a pilgrim sits facing south for pitṛ-tarpaṇa, then turns to offer to devas; small bowls of water, sesame, and havis are arranged; he sprinkles sanctified water over offerings with devotion.
Pilgrimage dharma includes gratitude and obligation—honoring gods, ancestors, and society through ordered offerings.
This tarpaṇa sequence is prescribed within the Dvārakā Māhātmya’s Cakratīrtha rite-context.
Perform tarpaṇa to Pitṛs, Devas, and humans in order, then do prokṣaṇa (sprinkling) of havis materials with devotion.
