¹⁰⁷⁹ पिण्डांश्च गोजाविभेभ्यो दद्यादग्नौ जलेपि वा । वप्रान्ते वाथ विकिरेद्वयांसिभिरथ वाहयेत्॥ पद्म (सृष्टि 9 120), अपरार्क p. 550 and हेमाद्रि read विप्रान्ते and वयोभिरथ वाशयेत्। (p. 1504) That birds should be allowed to eat the piṇḍas is natural since it was believed as stated above (p 339) that the pitṛs wander about in the form of birds Vide कूर्म II 22.83 for a similar verse.
