Sanskrit Text

ज्ञातीनां तु भवेच्छ्रेष्ठः कुर्वञ्श्राद्धं त्रयोदशीम् अवश्यं तु युवानोऽस्य प्रमीयन्ते नरा गृहे

English Translation

on By performing the Shraddha the thirteenth day, one reigns supreme over his kinsmen. Forsooth, all the young men in the family of him who performs the Shraddha on the fourteenth day die. Such a man becomes entangled in war. By performing the Shraddha on the day of the new moon, one gets the fruition of every desire.
