If any one of these should dine, duly honoured, at the 艢r膩ddha performed by a certain person, there would be ever-lasting satisfaction for his ancestors, lasting till the seventh degree (of descendants).鈥�(146)

 

Medh膩tithi鈥檚 commentary (尘补苍耻产丑腻峁�y补):

Some people might argue as follows:鈥斺�淚t has been asserted that 鈥榓t the rite performed in honour of ancestors one should feed three Br膩hma峁嘺s;鈥� and in the preceding verse the learners of several recensional texts have been mentioned; so that there is no possibility of one鈥檚 own companions in study being fed.鈥�

And it is with a view to set aside this notion that the author puts forward the present verse.

Of these three鈥攖he adherents of the three Vedas鈥攁nyone may be fed.

That is to say, one may feed either persons professing the same recensional text as oneself or those professing other several texts.

鈥�Duly honoured鈥欌赌攚orshipped, approached, with offerings of water, etc.

鈥�Satisfaction to the seventh degree鈥欌赌�i.e., the satisfaction continues till the seventh degree of descendants. The prolonging of both vowels in the term 鈥�蝉腻辫迟补辫补耻谤耻峁Ｄ�鈥� is in accordance with P膩峁噄ni 7.3.20. This epithet has been added for the purpose of indicating great length of time; the meaning being that 鈥榯he satisfaction of the ancestors lasts for a long time.鈥� The meaning is that 鈥榖y the feeding of the said Br膩hma峁嘺, the satisfaction secured to the ancestors is such as lasts till such time as his sons and grandsons to the seventh degree are born.鈥�

鈥�Everlasting,鈥欌赌�i.e., it does not cease, and then appears again; it remains there always.鈥�(146)

Comparative notes by various authors

叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 (Par膩艣aram膩dhava, p. 337).鈥斺�業f one feeds a single S膩mavedin at the 艢r膩ddha, all the three Vedas, 峁歬, S膩man and Yaju峁�, are present in him. If, for the sake of his fathers, one secures one who has pondered over the texts of the S膩man, then he secures the entire earth along with hills and forests. The 峁歬 satisfies the father, the Yaju峁�, the grandfather, and the S膩man, the great-grandfather;鈥攁nd the Chandoga is superior even to that.鈥�

艢腻迟腻迟补辫补 (Par膩艣aram膩dhava, p. 337).鈥斺�業f one feeds an Atharvavedin at the offerings to Gods and Pit峁泂, he attains endless and imperishable results;鈥攕ays the 艢ruti.鈥�
