For the twice-born person just dead, there should be (performed) the rite up to the 鈥槼Р贡杈贬箛岣嵞�办补谤补峁嘺鈥�: one should do the feeding at his 艢谤腻诲诲丑补 without any in honour of the gods, and he shall offer one ball.鈥�(247)

 

Medh膩tithi鈥檚 commentary (尘补苍耻产丑腻峁�y补):

鈥�For the twice-born person, just dead鈥欌�� one should perform the rite up to 鈥槼Р贡杈贬箛岣嵞�办补谤补峁嘺;鈥� i.e., the offering of balls conjointly with the two preceding ancestors, which constitutes the 厂补辫颈峁囜笉墨办补谤补峁嘺, the 鈥楢malgamating Rite,鈥� shall not be made once鈥攚hat, then, shall be offered?鈥斺��He should offer one ball;鈥� the particle 鈥�ca鈥� having the sense of 鈥�only;鈥� the sense is that 鈥榦ne ball shall be offered, only to the person just dead.鈥� The Br膩hma峁嘺 also shall be fed in honour of that person only.

In another 厂尘峁泃颈, there is declared another specific procedure鈥斺�業t shall be without invitation and doing in fire鈥� (驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补, 腻肠腻谤补 251); where 鈥榙oing in fire鈥� stands for the seeking of permission with the words, 鈥業 shall do this in fire;鈥� and the pouring of libations into fire is not prohibited. In the 骋峁沨测补蝉奴迟谤补, libations into fire have been laid down in connection with the 艢谤腻诲诲丑补 offered to the recent dead.

At what time and how long is the rite to be performed鈥攊nformation on these points should be sought for from another 厂尘峁泃颈; where it is said that鈥�(A) 鈥楾he first 艢谤腻诲诲丑补 is on the eleventh day,鈥欌��(B) 鈥榦n the date of death, for one year, the 艢谤腻诲诲丑补 should be done every month, and every year it shall be performed, like the monthly performance,鈥欌�攁nd in the Kathaka it is said, 鈥楾his should be done every year.鈥�

(A) The term 鈥榚leventh鈥� is only indicative of the day on which the period of impurity ceases; since it has been declared that 鈥榟aving become pure, one should make offerings to the Pit峁泂.鈥�

(B) The author of 骋峁沨测补蝉奴迟谤补s declares that the 鈥槼Р贡杈贬箛岣嵞�办补谤补峁嘺鈥� shall be performed at the end of the year.

The 艢谤腻诲诲丑补 mentioned in the text is called 鈥�贰办辞诲诲颈峁ａ弓补鈥� (鈥榦ffered to one person鈥�); and the 鈥榦ffering鈥� (of the ball) is part of it.

It has been held that, on account of the declaration of the 艢谤耻迟颈鈥� one should make offerings to the Pit峁泂鈥� (quoted above),鈥攖he offering should be made to the Father, Grand-father and Great-grandfather. But it cannot be right to make this offering (to all three) until the 鈥�厂补辫颈峁囜笉墨办补谤补峁嘺鈥� has been performed. Because the 厂尘峁泃颈 (regarding the 厂补辫颈峁囜笉墨办补谤补峁嘺) cannot be entirely set aside by the said Vedic declaration.鈥�(247)

 

Explanatory notes by Ganganath Jha

This verse, as quoted by Medh膩tithi on p. 290, l. 1, reads 鈥�础蝉补辫颈峁囜笉补鈥�.鈥擝ut the same sense may be got out of the reading 鈥�膧蝉补辫颈峁囜笉补鈥�.鈥掷别别 Translation.

鈥淭丑别 厂补辫颈峁囜笉墨办补谤补峁嘺, the solemn reception of a dead person among the partakers of oblations, is performed either on the thirteenth day, or a year after death,鈥濃�攕ays Buhler. But the rite is performed on the twelfth, not the thirteenth day.

Hopkins has misunderstood the signification of the 厂补辫颈峁囜笉墨办补谤补峁嘺 rite. He calls it 鈥榗eremony on making a Sapi峁囜笉a (relative) for him鈥� and adds that 鈥榠t implies that the deceased died without any family to offer the 艢谤腻诲诲丑补 for him.鈥�

As a matter of fact, this rite is performed for every one; and its meaning is as explained by Buhler (see above).

The second half of this verse is quoted in 厂尘峁泃颈tattva (p. 802) in support of the view that the 鈥樑毎�腻诲诲丑补鈥� and 鈥榦ffering of the Ball鈥� are two distinct acts.
