32.22

śvā caiva hanti śrāddhāni yātudhānāśca darśanāt /
tasmāt susaṃvṛto dadyāttilaiścāvakiranmahīm //

Men who disgrace their family or who injure their family by separating themselves from the śrāddha, naked men and criminals may destroy the ceremony to the pitṛs with their glance; a eunuch, and a man repudiated by his relations, a cock, and the village hog, and a dog, each ruins śrāddhas by his look, and so also do Rākṣasas.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa

Hence let a man offer the ceremony being well secluded, and scattering the ground with sesamum seed. Thus may safety be secured in the śrāddha even for both, my child.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
