teṣāmanyaścaturtho yaḥ putralepabhujānnabhuk /
so 'pi sambandhato hīnamupabhogaṃ prapadyate //
Madālasā spoke:
“After, the performance of the śrāddha to deceased sapiṇḍas, he who is the father’s great-grandfather passes to the class of those who feed on the lepa,[1] having lost his share in the piṇḍa offered to the pitṛs. He, who is the fourth there-above among those who feed on the lepa bestowed by the deceased’s son, ceases to eat thereof and obtains the satisfaction that is freed from the relationship.
