Purva-Mimamsa in its Sources c29.3

c29.3

There are some acts prescribed, the result of which accrue, not to the actual Performer himself, but to his son and other relations. For instance, the *Vaishvānara* Sacrifice, laid down as to be performed at the birth of a son; the result brought about by this Sacrifice,—in the shape of *welfare*, accrues to the born Infant. These acts also are *Puruṣārtha*. (*Sūtra* 4.3.38-39).
