Vānaprastha-dharma and Tapas: Śiva–Umā Saṃvāda
Forest-Stage Discipline and Austerity
पितृणां त्रिषु सर्वेषां निरुक्त कथितं त्वया । देवदूतने पूछा--पितृगण! आपलोगोंने क्रमश: पिण्डोंका विभाग बतलाया और तीनों लोकोंमें जो समस्त पितर हैं, उनको पिण्डदान करनेका शास्त्रोक्त प्रकार भी बतला दिया
pitṝṇāṃ triṣu sarveṣāṃ niruktaṃ kathitaṃ tvayā |
天使说道：“你已将三界一切祖灵（Pitṛ）之所当说者，依正法分明阐释。” 就其语境而言，此言是在认可关于诸如供献 piṇḍa（饭团供）等仪式的教导既合经典又有次第，并强调：唯有凭借正确的知见与如法的行持，方能护持达摩，尽到奉事先祖之责。

Educational Q&A
That ancestral duties (such as śrāddha and piṇḍa-offerings) should be learned and performed according to śāstra; correct articulation and orderly explanation of dharma is itself praised as a virtue.
A divine messenger addresses the Pitṛs (or the instructing party) and acknowledges that the teaching about all Pitṛs across the three worlds has been properly explained—serving as a transition/affirmation within the discourse on śrāddha and piṇḍa-dāna.
