Bṛhaspati said: What is given to the son of a widowed woman, who remarries is futile like the Homa performed on the ashes, O Brāhmaṇa. A one-eyed man (if invited for Śrāddha) destroys sixty merits of the donors; a eunuch destroys a hundred merits; a man suffering from white leprosy destroys five hundred merits; one who suffers from sinful ailments destroys a thousand merits of the donors. The donor who is childish falls off from the benefit thereof.
