Translation

若有人于施行śrāddha之时，以虔敬将哈利（Hari）所食之余供奉于祖灵诸神（Pitṛ），以那掺入细芝麻的piṇḍa供团为凭，其祖先将于一亿（crore）劫中恒得圆满满足。

FAQs

Ancestral rites gain exceptional potency when connected to Hari-bhakti—Viṣṇu’s prasāda offered with devotion is said to bring enduring satisfaction to the Pitṛs.

Dvārakā’s Vaiṣṇava sanctity is the underlying setting of the Dvārakā Māhātmya, where offerings linked to Hari are extolled.

During śrāddha, offer Hari-bhukta-śeṣa (Viṣṇu’s prasāda) to the Pitṛ-devatās, along with piṇḍa mixed with sesame (tila).
