sapiṇḍīkaraṇaṃ tāsāṃ putrābhāve na vidyate /
pratisaṃvatsaraṃ kāryamekoddiṣṭaṃ naraiḥ striyāḥ //
“This śrāddha for a single deceased person is ordained precisely the same for women also. The śrāddha for deceased sapiṇḍas does not exist for them, if they have no son. The śrāddha for a single deceased person must be performed every year for a woman by the men, duly on the day of her death, as has been here mentioned for men.
