6.6

daivādyaṃ naiva kurvīta daivāntaṃ naiva kutracit | daivādyantaṃ hi kurvīta śrāddhaṃ maraṇahetunā

At a death or a birth, for female slaves, / and for wives taken in natural order of castes, / purification is equal to that of the master; when the master dies, it is by uterine kinship.

One should never make a śrāddha begin with the gods nor ever end with the gods; (but) a śrāddha occasioned by a death one should begin and end with the gods.
