iti śrīviṣṇupurāṇe tṛtīyāṃśe pañcadaśo 'dhyāyaḥ

"The class of Pitris derives support from the moon, and the moon is sustained by acts of austere devotion. Hence the appointment of one who practises austerities is most desirable. A Yogi set before a thousand Brahmans enables the institutor of obsequial rites to enjoy all his desires."

Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition
