Commentary
Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated
With which sentences are the piṇḍas to be offered to the father and the rest? To that he says "āmantraṇena" and the rest. O Maheśvarī, naming each of the fathers and the rest in the vocative (āmantraṇa), he should give with svadhā a piṇḍa joined with barley and mādhvīka, that is with honey and barley: with the sentence "amuka-gotra nāndīmukha pitar amuka-devaśarmann eṣa madhu-yava-yutaḥ piṇḍas te svadhā" ("O father so-and-so, nāndīmukha, of such a gotra, this piṇḍa with honey and barley is yours; svadhā") at the root of the darbha to the father; with the same for the grandfather in the middle of the darbha; for the great-grandfather at the tip; and likewise with "amuka-gotre nāndīmukhi mātar amuki devi madhu-yava-yuta eṣa piṇḍas te svadhā" at the root of the darbha to the mother, in the middle to the grandmother, at the tip to the great-grandmother; and in the same way to the maternal grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather, and to the maternal grandmother and the rest, he should give the piṇḍas: that is the sense. "Piṇḍānte" and the rest. At the end of the offering of the piṇḍas, scattering the remains of the piṇḍas around them, with the sentence "oṁ lepabhujaḥ pitaraḥ prīyantām" ("may the ancestors who share the wipings be pleased") he should please, with what clings to his hand (karalepa), the ancestors from the fourth generation on, who share in the wipings (lepabhāj). In the ekoddiṣṭa there is no such rule of pleasing the lepabhāj ancestors.
