1The import of this Satra is, that those three ceremonies must not be omitted in the present case, as is otherwise the case at an Ekoddishéa. (Nand.) 14. } The following is a translation of the whole of this Mantra, 86 VISHNU. XXI, 1g. (the two Mantras), ‘May earth unite thee}, and ‘United your minds 2.’ 15. Near the leavings he must make (and put) four balls of rice. 16. Let him show out the Brahmazas, after they have sipped water duly and have been presented by .him with their sacrificial fee. 17. Then let him knead together the ball of the deceased person with the three balls (of the three ancestors), as (he has mixed up) his water for washing the feet and his Arghya (with theirs). 18. Let him do the same (with the balls placed) near the three trenches. 19. Or (see Sitra 12) the Sapizdikarava must be performed on the thirteenth, after the monthly Sraddha has been performed on the twelfth! day. 20. For Siadras it should be performed on the twelfth day, without Mantras. 21. If there be an intercalary month in that year, he must add one day to the (regular days of the) monthly Sraddha. 22. The ceremony of investing women with the relationship of Sapizda has to be performed in the same manner. Later, he must perform a Sraddha every year, while he lives, (on the anniversary of the deceased relative’s death)". which is quoted at full in the KasAaka Grchya-sfitra, ‘May Prethivi (the earth), Vayu (air), Agni (fire), and Pragapati (the lord of creatures) unite thee with thy ancestors, and may you ancestors unite with him.’ Regarding the particular ancestors implied here, see below, LXXV. — ? Rig-veda X, 191, 4. 19. }I.e. on that day on which the period of impurity expires. (Nand.) 22. 1 The meaning is, that he must give him food and water, as prescribed in 23. (Nand.) XXII,-6. IMPURITY. 87 23. He, for whom the ceremony of investing him with the relationship of Sapizda is performed after the lapse of a year, shall be honoured by the gift, (on each day) of that year, of food and a jar with water to a Brahmama.

In the case of a Vaisya (it lasts) fifteen days. 4. In the case of a Sidra (it lasts) a month. 5. The relationship of Sapizda ceases with the seventh man (in descent or ascent). 6. During the period of impurity oblations (to the Visvedevas), gifts and receiving of alms, and study have to be interrupted.
