1The first part of this observation appears to be correct, but the maternal grandfather and the rest are neither referred to in the following Sftras, nor in the Kashaka Grthya-sftra. 2. Nand. gives it as his opinion, that nine trenches should be made, three of which are to be for the maternal grandfather, &c. But Sftra 4 refers to three trenches for the men only, and the K&shaka Grihya-sfitra expressly mentions the number of six trenches. LXXV, 5. SRADDHAS. 239 5. He must fill the three trenches for the men with water mixed with food. 6. (He must fill) the three trenches for the women with milk mixed with food. 7. (And he must fill up) each triad of trenches singly with sour milk, meat, and milk. 8. After having filled (the trenches), he must mutter the Mantra, ‘May this (food) be imperishable for ye men and for ye women.’ LXXV. -1. He who makes a Sr4ddha-offéring while his father is alive, must offer it to those persons to whom his father offers (his Sraddhas). 2. (If he offers a Sraddha) while both his father ‘and grandfather are alive, (he must offer it to those persons) to whom his grandfather (offers his Sraddhas). 3. While his father, grandfather, and greatgrandfather are alive, he must offer no Sr&ddha at all. 4. He whose father is dead (but whose grandfather is alive), must first of all offer a ball of rice to his father, after that, two balls to the two ancestors coming before his grandfather (or to his great-grandfather and to his fourth ascendant). 5. He whose father and grandfather are dead (but whose great-grandfather is alive), must first offer two balls to those two, and then offer one ball to the grandfather of his grandfather. 4. Nand. renders this Sftra differently, in accordance with his own theory regarding the number of the trenches. LXXV. 1. M. III, 220.— 4. M. III, 221.— 7. Y. I, 228. 240 VISHNU. LXXV, 6. 6. He whose grandfather is dead (but whose father and great-grandfather are alive), must give one ball to his grandfather and two balls to the father and grandfather of his great-grandfather. 7. An intelligent man must offer Sraddhas to his maternal grandfather, and to the father and grandfather of him, in the same way (as to his paternal ancestors), duly modifying the Mantras. But the Sraddhas addressed to other relatives, (uncles, brothers, and the like, must be performed) without Mantras. LXXVI. 1. The (twelve) days of new moon, the three Ashfakas, the three Anvashéak4s, a Magha day (i.e. ‘day on which the moon enters the lunar asterism Magh4’), which falls on the thirteenth of the dark half of the month Praush¢dapada, and the two seasons when rice and barley grow ripe (or autumn and spring) : 4. The Mantras are those quoted above, in Chapters LXXIII and LXXIV. They have to be modified, i.e. the names of the maternal ancestors must be put in, and the verb &c. of the sentence be altered accordingly, (Nand.) LXXVI,. 1. M.

Nand. infers from a passage of Asvalayana (Grzhya-sdtra II, 4, 3) that Sraddhas to be offered on the day before each Ash/aka are also intended here. See, however, note on LXXIII, 9. The same proposes two explanations of the term MAghi: 1. It has to be separated from the following words, and refers directly to the day of full moon in the month Magha, and indirectly to the days of full moon in Ash4dha, Karttika, and Vaisakha as well, as indicated in a passage of the Bréhma-puraza. 2. It has to be connected with the clause following it. This latter interpretation, on which the rendering given above is based, is supported by Manu (III, 273,274), LXXVIL, 9. SRADDHAS. 241 2. Thus have the regular times for a Sraddha been declared by the lord of creatures. He who fails to perform a Srdddha on those days, goes to hell. LXXVII. 1. The sun’s passage from one sign of the zodiac to another ; 2. The two equinoctial points ; 3. The two solstitial points particularly ; 4. The (Yoga) Vyatipata ; 5. The constellation under which (the sacrificer himself, or his wife, or his son) is born ; 6. A time of rejoicing (as, when a son has been born, or another happy event happened) : 7. These occasions for a SrAddha the lord of creatures has pronounced optional; a Sraddha which is performed on these occasions gives infinite satisfaction (to the manes). 8. No Sraddha must be performed in the twilight or at night by an intelligent man. A Sraddha may be performed at those times also when an eclipse (of the sun or of the moon) takes place. g. For a Sr&ddha which is offered them at the time of an eclipse satisfies the manes, as long as the moon and the stars exist, and procures immense advantages and the satisfaction of all his desires to the sacrificer.

The meaning is, that the Sraddhas mentioned in this chapter are naimittika, ‘ occasional.’ (Nand.) (7] R 242 VISHNU. LXXVIII, r. LX XVIII. 1. By performing a Sraddha on Sunday he procures everlasting freedom from disease. 2. (By performing a Sra4ddha) on Monday he becomes beloved'. 3.

Nand. states that the Sraddhas mentioned in this chapter are of the kamya sort, i.e. ‘offered for the gratification of a special desire.’ 2. } This is Nand.’s interpretation of the term saubhagyam. It might also be taken in its usual acceptation, as meaning ‘ happiness.’ 8-35. Those names of the twenty-eight Nakshatras or lunar asterisms, which I have included in parentheses, are from Nand.’s Commentary. Most of the objects which are said to be gained by the Sraddhas mentioned in Sfitras 8-35 are connected etymologically, or through their import, with the names of the particular Nakshatras under which they are performed. Thus the term pushdi, ‘ prosperity,’ in Stra 13, is etymologically connected with Pushya ; the term mitra, ‘friend,’ in 22, is connected with Maitra; the term ragyam, ‘royalty,’ in 23, is connected with Sdkra, the name of that Nakshatra being derived from Sakra, a name of Indra, the king of the gods, &c.
