Matsyapurana 16.53

16.53

viprāgrato vā vikired vayobhir abhivāśayet
patnī tu madhyamaṃ piṇḍaṃ prāśayed vinayānvitā //

The Kâmya or the third kind of Srâddha should be performed also in the same manner as the Pârvaṇa Śrâddha described above. It should be performed on Amâvasyâ. The balls of rice should afterwards be given to cows, goats, Brâhmaṇas, or should be thrown into fire or water, or they should be made over to birds.—52—53.

The ball of rice in the middle should be given to the wife of the host (this is the peculiarity in this Śrâddha). It begets progeny. She should eat the ball of rice after pronouncing the following words: "Âdhatta pitaro garbhamatra santâna vardhanam" (Piṭris grant to me progeny that would continue the line of the house). The host should remain standing till the Brâhmaṇas depart. He should then perform the remaining rites.—54.
