13.192.1
परदारेषु ये सक्ता अकृत्वा दारसङ्ग्रहम् ।
निराशाः पितरस्तेषां श्राद्धकाले भवन्ति वै ॥ १३.१९२.१ ॥
Those who are attached to the wives of others and do not take a wife — their ancestors become disappointed at the time of the śrāddha rite.
13.192.2
परदाररतिर्यश्च यश्च वन्ध्यामुपासते ।
ब्रह्मस्वं हरते यश्च समदोषा भवन्ति ते ॥ १३.१९२.२ ॥
He who delights in the wives of others, he who attends upon a barren woman, and he who takes away a brahmin's property — these become equally faulted.
13.192.3
असम्भाष्या भवन्त्येते पितॄणां नात्र संशयः ।
देवताः पितरश्चैषां नाभिनन्दन्ति तद्धविः ॥ १३.१९२.३ ॥
These become unfit to be spoken to even by the ancestors — there is no doubt of this. The gods and the ancestors do not rejoice in their oblation.
13.192.4
तस्मात्परस्य वै दारांस्त्यजेद्वन्ध्यां च योषितम् ।
ब्रह्मस्वं हि न हर्तव्यमात्मनो हितमिच्छता ॥ १३.१९२.४ ॥
Therefore one should abandon another's wife and a barren woman; one who desires his own welfare should not seize the property of a brahmin.
13.192.5
श्रूयतां चापरं गुह्यं रहस्यं धर्मसंहितम् ।
श्रद्दधानेन कर्तव्यं गुरुणां वचनं सदा ॥ १३.१९२.५ ॥
Hear also another secret mystery, one that contains dharma: one who has faith should always carry out the instructions of the teachers.
13.192.6
द्वादश्यां पौर्णमास्यां च मासिमासि घृताक्षतम् ।
ब्राह्मणेभ्यः प्रयच्छेत तस्य पुण्यं निबोधत ॥ १३.१९२.६ ॥
On the twelfth day and on the full-moon day, month after month, one who gives ghee and unbroken grains to brahmins — learn now the merit of that.
13.192.7
सोमश्च वर्धते तेन समुद्रश्च महोदधिः ।
अश्वमेधचतुर्भागं फलं सृजति वासवः ॥ १३.१९२.७ ॥
By that gift Soma grows, and so does the great ocean; Vāsava (Indra) bestows the fruit of a quarter of an aśvamedha sacrifice.
13.192.8
दानेनैतेन तेजस्वी वीर्यवांश्च भवेन्नरः ।
प्रीतश्च भगवान्सोम इष्टान्कामान्प्रयच्छति ॥ १३.१९२.८ ॥
By this gift a man becomes radiant and mighty, and the blessed Soma, pleased, bestows the desires he wishes for.
13.192.9
श्रूयतां चापरो धर्मः सरहस्यो महाफलः ।
इदं कलियुगं प्राप्य मनुष्याणां सुखावहः ॥ १३.१९२.९ ॥
Hear now another dharma, with its secret teaching, of great fruit, which, coming in this Kali age, brings happiness to men.
13.192.10
कल्यमुत्थाय यो मर्त्यः स्नातः शुक्लेन वाससा ।
तिलपात्रं प्रयच्छेत ब्राह्मणेभ्यः समाहितः ॥ १३.१९२.१० ॥
The mortal who, rising at dawn, bathed and clad in white garments, gives with composed mind a vessel of sesame to the brahmins.
13.192.11
तिलोदकं च यो दद्यात्पितॄणां मधुना सह ।
दीपकं कृसंर चैव श्रूयतां तस्य यत्फलम् ॥ १३.१९२.११ ॥
Hear the fruit of him who offers to the ancestors sesame water with honey, and also gives a lamp and kṛsaṃra (the text here has a gap).
13.192.12
तिलपात्रे फलं प्राह भगवान्पाकशांसनः ।
गोप्रदानं च यः कुर्याद्भूमिदानं च शाश्वतम् ॥ १३.१९२.१२ ॥
Of the gift of a vessel of sesame the blessed Pākaśāsana (Indra) declared the fruit; and he who gives a cow and gives land has a lasting fruit.
13.192.13
अग्निष्टोमं च यो यज्ञं यजेत बहुदक्षिणम् ।
तिलपात्रं सहैतेन समं मन्यन्ति देवताः ॥ १३.१९२.१३ ॥
Whoever performs the Agniṣṭoma sacrifice, or a sacrifice with abundant fees, the gods consider equal to this gift of a vessel of sesame.
13.192.14
तिलोदकं सदा श्राद्धे मन्यन्ते पितरोऽक्षयम् ।
दीपे च कृसरे चैव तुष्यन्तेऽस्य पितामहाः ॥ १३.१९२.१४ ॥
At the śrāddha the ancestors always hold water mixed with sesame to be imperishable; with the lamp and with kṛsara his forefathers are pleased.
13.192.15
स्वर्गे च पितृलोके च पितृदेवाभिपूजितम् ।
एवमेतन्मयोद्दिष्टपिदृष्टं पुरातनम् ॥ १३.१९२.१५ ॥
Honored in heaven and in the world of the ancestors by the fathers and the gods, this is so — as I have declared it, it has been seen since ancient times.
