Bṛhaspaṭi Said:: The Tarpaṇa (water libation) is always by means of water alone. Thereby the satisfaction is perpetual both here and hereafter. If the performer of Śrāddha has perfect self-control, although he may have all sorts of desires, if he takes three times bath by way of plunging (into the river etc) and worships the Pitṛs with mental and physical purity, duly repeating the Mantra, he shall obtain the fruit of a well performed horse-sacrifice.
