17.43

yeṣāṃ na mātā na pitā na bandhur na gotraśuddhirna tathānnam asti
tattṛptaye 'nnaṃ bhuvi dattametat prayāntu lokeṣu sukhāya tadvat //

those beings that have not been cremated in my faimly, may feel satisfied by the Vikira rite and attain emancipation. Those who have no father or mother, no brother, no clansman to offer them food, may feel satisfied with the food offered in the Vikira rite and attain peace. Those who were not invested with the sacred thread, those women discarded by their kinsmen, may feel satisfied with the food offered in Vikira.—42-44.
