etānyapi na deyāni pitṛbhyaḥ priyamicchatā
pitṝn prīṇāti yo bhaktyā te punaḥ prīṇayanti tam //

The things mentioned already are appreciable to the Pitṛis and should be offerred to them; the things not liked by them and which should be discarded at the time of śrâddha are enumerated now, viz.—Masûr, hemp, ripe black mustard, mâṣa, safflower, lotus, wood-apple, sunflower, the white thorn-apple, the fruit of Nima tree, the fruit of Adhatoda vasika, the milk of she-goat, kodrava, split chick pea, liquorice, linseed, should never be offered in śrâddha to the Pitṛis by one who wishes to win their favour. One who pleases the Pitṛis by devotion, is blessed by them in return.—36-39.
