ततो देवासुरं युद्धं पुनरेवाभवद् द्विज। देवादिनि:ःश्वासहतं शरीरं यस्य वेश्म च। न तेन संकरं कुर्याद् गृहासनपरिच्छदे:॥ ४५ श्रीपराशरजी बोले---इस प्रकार अनेक युक्तियोंसे

jfXURVA said: — A father, without changing his clotli, should bathe when a son is born ; he should then go through the ceremonies consequent upon the birth and perform the Sráddlia which shouid always be celebrated upon occasions of prosperity. With a composed mind and thinking on nothing else, he should worship both the celestials and the manes and revcrentially go rornd keeping Brahmans oíi his left hand and offer them food. And standing with his face directed to the east, he should, with the portions of the hand sacred to the celestials and Prajápati, offer balls of food with curds, unbruised grain and jujubes. He should perform on every acccssion of prospenty the Sráddha cere- mony, by which the manes called Nándimukhas are propi- tiated.

This ceremony should bc cclebratcd in tbe same way as monthly obsequies— onlg four vessels should be placed with water perfumes and sesamum. O king, (of these four) one should be dedicatcd to the deceased and three to the manes, and the contents of the former should be transferred to the latter three. After the deceased has been included in the list of manes, king of earth, the ancestors should be again worsliipped with all the ceremonies of the Sraddha. The pcrsons connected by thc offering of cake, who are competent to celebrate the obsequial ceremonies, are the son, grandson, great grandson, a kinsman of the dcad.the descendants of a brother or the prosperity of one connected by funeral offerings.

rttes, initiative intermediate and subsiqucnt, celebrated. Hear, I shall now describe the difference of these three classes of rites. The first are those which are performed afterthe burning of the dead body until the touching of water, weapons &c. The Sráddhas, called Ekoddistha which are performed every month, are called intennediate rites; and the ceremonies, which follow Sapindakarana when the deceased becomes one of his ancestors, are called subse- quent rites — from this time the ceremonies become general and ancestral. The initiative ceremonies should be perform- ed by the«relative of tlie father or mother whether allied by the oífering of the cake or of water by the companions of the dead man or by the king who inherits his property. Both the intermediate and suhseqnent rites should be celebrated by sons and other relatíons, and by daughter's sons and their sons. In every year, king, the obsequial ceremonies should beperformed either by males or females, in the same way as tlie ceremonies of month by obsequies are enjoined. Hear king, I shall now describe, at what seasons and in what Itianner those ccremonios arc lo be pcrformed."
