Commentary

Hariharānanda Bhāratī’s Sanskrit commentary, translated

"Devatādi" and the rest. In a śrāddha to be done at the consecration of a deity and the rest, and on setting out on a pilgrimage and on returning home from it, in the sentences of permission and the rest to be made, he should say "this śrāddha by the pārvaṇa procedure".
