Sūta replied: He who is conversant with the Śrāddhakalpa sanctifies by his joining (the row of diners). One who has mastered at least one out of the fourteen Vidyās (Lores), those who duly fulfil their duties—all these sanctify the row. Undoubtedly the Sauparṇas, those who maintain five sacred fires, those who sing Sāman hymns, the Brāhmaṇa who duly undertakes the pilgrimage by walking for twelve years, Triṇācīketas, Traividya (a person who knows and has kindled three Naciketā fires and mastered three Vidyās), the Brāhmaṇa who learns works of piety, the Brāhmaṇa who has mastered the great scriptural text written by Bṛhaspati—all these are cited as sanctifiers of the rows.
