Adhyaya 32 — Rules for Parvana Śrāddha: Foods that Please the Ancestors and Items to Avoid
अनन्तां वै प्रयच्छन्ति तृप्तिं गौरीसुतस्तथा ।
पितॄणां नात्र सन्देहो गयाश्राद्धञ्च पुत्रक ॥
anantāṃ vai prayacchanti tṛptiṃ gaurīsutas tathā / pitṝṇāṃ nātra sandeho gayāśrāddhaṃ ca putraka
这些供品确实能赐予无尽的满足——这也是高丽（Gaurī）之子所宣说的。对于诸祖灵（Pitṛ），对此毫无疑虑，孩子啊；在伽耶（Gayā）所行的施罗陀（śrāddha）亦复如是。

FAQs
The text elevates certain rites (notably Gayā-śrāddha) as exceptionally efficacious, reinforcing the Purāṇic ethic that place (tīrtha), method, and śraddhā (faithful intent) jointly shape karmic and ancestral outcomes.
This is tīrtha-and-dharma instruction (ancillary), not a direct instance of sarga/pratisarga/vaṃśa/manvantara/vaṃśānucarita.
‘Endless satisfaction’ suggests a rite that breaks ordinary time-accounting of merit. Gayā functions as a liminal ‘crossing place’ where offerings are believed to reach ancestors with maximal continuity.
