daivakāryād dvijātīnāṃ pitṛkāryaṃ viśiṣyate
daivaṃ hi pitṛkāryasya pūrvam āpyāyanaṃ smṛtam //
For twice-born men the rite in honour of the manes is more important than the rite in honour of the gods; for the offering to the gods which precedes (the Sraddhas), has been declared to be a means of fortifying (the latter).
