Offering rice-cake (piṇḍa) to the Manes (Pitāmahas) - Verse 97

Bṛhaspaṭi Said:: Upahāra (offering of presents), Svadhākāra (utterance of Svadhā), Ullekhana (scrubbing), Homa, chanting of Mantras, obeisance, Prokṣaṇa (sprinkling rite) in particular, application of collyrium, oil bath, offering of rice balls—all these should be done when the fire blazes well with plenty of ghee and fuel. What is performed by Brāhmaṇas in the sacred fire that blazes very well yields the benefit of a horse-sacrifice. One shall scrupulously perform all the holy rites as directed.
