Kuśa and black sesamum were produced from the body of Viṣṇu, that is why they are necessarily employed in the performance of śrâddha. The devas have also said that a handful of water mixed with sesamum and offered by the residents of a sacred place by holding kuśa in one hand, is also a kind of śrâddha.—89-90.
