Adhyāya 42 (Śānti Parva): Śrāddha, Aurdhvadaihika Rites, and Royal Welfare Measures
सुहृदां कारयामास सर्वेषामौर्ध्वदेहिकम् । साथ ही उनके निमित्त पाण्डुपुत्र युधिष्ठिरने धर्मशालाएँ, प्याऊ-चर और पोखरे बनवाये। इस प्रकार उन्होंने सभी सुहृदोंके श्राद्ध-कर्म सम्पन्न कराये
suhṛdāṃ kārayāmāsa sarveṣām aurdhvadehikam |
毗湿摩波衍那言：般度之子由提施提罗，命人为一切亲善之人悉皆如法举行葬后之礼（舍罗陀 śrāddha 及相关仪式）。又为其名义兴建利民之业——施舍旅舍、供水之亭、蓄水之池——于是以达摩、感恩与慈悲之心，在战祸之后圆满完成诸般追荐纪念之仪。

Educational Q&A
Dharma after loss is expressed through gratitude and responsible action: honoring the departed with proper rites and transforming grief into compassionate public welfare (charity that benefits many).
After the war, Yudhiṣṭhira arranges the aurdhvadehika/śrāddha rites for all his well-wishers and supports their memory by commissioning charitable works such as rest-houses, water-stations, and ponds.
