Matsya said:—"O King! the Brāhmaṇas belonging to the families of Dharma are worthy of being feasted on the occasion of Śrāddha as the gifts and food given to them with free will please the manes. O King! I shall now tell you what the manes desire in their realms and thus sing songs there. They wish that some one of their family should offer them libations of water and balls of rice in some cool running stream; they thus say:—'Oh! will any one be born in our families who will offer us simple handfuls of water in memory of us, especially offer us libations of water in some sacred rivers? Would any son be born in our families who offer us daily libations of milk, roots and fruits along with other victuals and til (sesamum) and water?—1-4.
