commentators add anagner amavasya_s_raddham, nanvaharyam. According to
Gobhila there ought to be the Vai_s_vadeva offering and the Bali
offering at the end of each Parva_n_a-_s_raddha; see "Gobhiliya

[Footnote 333: It may be seriously doubted whether prayers _to_ the
dead or _for_ the dead satisfy any craving of the human heart. With us
in "the North," a shrinking from "open manifestations of grief" has
nothing whatever to do with the matter. Those who refuse to engage in
such worship believe and teach that the dead are not gods and cannot

[Footnote 334: A deeper idea than affection inspired this custom.
Every kinsman was always such, living or dead; and hence the service
of the dead was sacred and essential. The _S_raddhas were adopted as
the performance of such offices. There were twelve forms of this

fourteenth day, and full moon. 7. The _s_raddha performed in a house
of assembly for the benefit of learned men. 8. Expiator
