道吉耶说道:“当施行施罗陀(śrāddha)之期到来,此人的祖灵便欢喜而近。仪轨若能如法奉行,人便心安而无忧。二次生者(dvija)当断食、摄心专注,连续三日以牛尿、牛粪、牛乳与牛酥(ghee)作供,投于火中为供献。其后满一整年,诸天受纳其供养;而当施罗陀之季临至其家时,诸祖灵(Pitṛs)亦皆欣悦。”
धौग्य उवाच
Properly performed śrāddha and disciplined ritual observance—done with fasting and focused mind—brings inner peace to the practitioner and is said to please both the gods and one’s ancestors, reinforcing the dharmic duty of gratitude and continuity toward forebears.
Dhaugya describes a prescribed observance for a dvija: for three days, while fasting and concentrating, one offers specific cow-derived substances as oblations into the fire; after a year’s completion, the gods accept the worship, and at the time of śrāddha the Pitṛs are especially pleased and present.
