31.18
tasmācchrāddhaṃ naro bhaktyā śākairapi yathāvidhi /
kurvota kurvataḥ śrāddhaṃ kule kaścinna sīdati //
“Thus many here derive nourishment, my child, through their relations who perform the śrāddhas, by means of the casting away of food and drops of water. Therefore a man should perform the śrāddha in faith according to rule even with vegetables: no one perishes in the family of one who performs the śrāddha.
