Brahmanda Purana (GRETIL / Wisdomlib) · 28 · Verse 76
Sanskrit Original
कर्मस्वेतेषु ये युक्ता भवन्त्यादेहपातनात। दैवैस्तैः पितृभिः सार्द्धं सूक्ष्मजैः सोमयाजनैः।।
karmasveteṣu ye yuktā bhavantyādehapātanāt| daivaistaiḥ pitṛbhiḥ sārddhaṃ sūkṣmajaiḥ somayājanaiḥ||
Sūta said:: If the devotees are engaged in these holy rites till their death in seven ways viz. penance, celibacy, Yajña, progeny Śrāddha, learning and charitable gifts, they go to heaven and rejoice there along with those Devas, Pitṛs, Sūkṣmajas (subtle-borns) and Somayājins (those who perform Soma sacrifices). They perform worships like the Pitṛs. If water libation is offered by the members of their families and their kinsmen, (the Pitṛs known as) Somalaukikas partake of monthly Śrāddhas and become contented. These (Pitṛs) who partake of monthly Śrāddhas are Manuṣyapitṛs (Human Manes).
