brāhmaṇānāṃ sahasrebhyo yogī tvagrāśanī yadi /
yajamānañca bhoktṝṃśca naurivāmbhasi tārayet //

And the yogis must always be fed by a wise man at a śrāddha; for the pitṛs are patrons of religious devotion; hence one should ever worship them. How if a yogi is fed first, he can save the person for whom the sacrifice is offered and those who feast, just as a boat saves in water, better than thousands of brāhmans.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
