Suvarṇa-dāna: Kārttikeya’s Origin and the Defeat of Tāraka (सुवर्णदान-प्रसङ्गे कार्त्तिकेय-उत्पत्ति तथा तारकवधः)
हव्यकव्येषु यज्ञेषु पितृकार्येषु चैव ह । सार्वकामिकमक्षय्यं पितृंस्तस्योपतिष्ठते
havyakavyeṣu yajñeṣu pitṛkāryeṣu caiva ha | sārvakāmikam akṣayyaṁ pitṝṁs tasyopatiṣṭhate puruṣasiṁha ||
毗湿摩说道:“噢,人中之狮!在献哈维亚(havya)之祭、献卡维亚(kavya)之祖先仪式,以及一切为诸祖灵(Pitṛ)而行的法事中,诵念并忆持此事,便成为普遍的满愿之行,功德无尽。以如此专注虔敬所献之供品,将以不减之利益抵达祖灵,能成就一切正当所愿。”
भीष्म उवाच
That offerings made in yajña and śrāddha, when accompanied by devoted remembrance/recitation and focused mind, become akṣayya (undiminishing) and effectively reach the Pitṛs, yielding broad, wish-fulfilling merit.
Bhīṣma is instructing the listener (addressed as ‘puruṣasiṁha’) about the religious efficacy of performing ancestral rites and sacrificial offerings with proper recitation: such acts are said to deliver inexhaustible benefit to the ancestors and confer purifying merit on the performer.
