प्रतिग्रहभेदः — The Distinction between Giving and Accepting
Vṛṣādarbhī–Saptarṣi Dialogue
तत: संचिन्तयामास श्राद्धकल्पं समाहित: । प्रातःकाल जागनेपर उनका मन पुत्रशोकसे व्यथित होता रहा; किन्तु उनकी बुद्धि बड़ी विस्तृत थी। उसके द्वारा उन्होंने ममनको शोककी ओरसे हटाया और एकाग्रचित्त होकर श्राद्धवेधिका विचार किया
tataḥ sañcintayāmāsa śrāddhakalpaṃ samāhitaḥ | prātaḥkāle jāgane para putraśokena vyathito ’bhavat; kintu tasya buddhir vipulā āsīt | tayā sa manaḥ śokāt apākarot, ekāgracitto bhūtvā śrāddhavedikāṃ vicārayāmāsa |
毗湿摩说道：“于是，他摄心安住，开始思量施罗陀（śrāddha）仪式的正当程序。虽在黎明醒来之时，因丧子之痛而心仍悲恸，但其见识广大而坚定。凭此明辨，他将心从哀伤处转开，令意念归于一境，筹度施罗陀祭坛的布置与仪式应行之法。”
