辱ṇḍī첹ṇa (सपिण्डीकर�).—On the twelfth day (of ones death), a special ritual known as 辱ṇḍī첹ṇa is performed. Piṇḍas are also offered on the day of 辱ṇḍī첹ṇa. On taking this piṇḍa, the ٲ-śī becomes a pit� and can reach the world of ancestors. It is said that a deceased person cannot reach the world of ancestors with ٲ-śī. A preta eats food twice, on eleventh and twelfth days. If 辱ṇḍ are not offered daily for the first ten days and if 辱ṇḍī첹ṇa is not performed on the twelfth day, ٲ-śī, instead of entering into the world of ancestors, becomes a ghost and suffers.
