* Let him on no account drop a tear, become angry or utter an untruth, nor let him touch the food with his foot nor violently shake it. (3.229) A tear sends the (food) to the Pretas, anger to his enemies, a falsehood to the dogs, contact with his foot to the Rakshasas, a shaking to the sinners. (3.230)

* One should never drop a tear, become angry or utter an untruth, nor touch the food with his foot or toss it in the air especially while serving in the Shraddha. Because, a tear sends the food to the Pretas, anger to the enemies, falsehood to the dogs, by hitting with foot sends it to the Rakshasas and tossing it takes it to the sinners (instead of the pitrs) (Manu Smrt. 3.229 and 230).<ref name=":1" />

* Whatever may please the Brahmanas, let him give without grudging it; let him give riddles from the Veda, for that is agreeable to the forefathers. (3.231)

* Whatever may please the Brahmanas, that food should be served well. One should also say stories of Ishvara, for that is pleasurable to the forefathers. Infact, (at a sacrifice in honour of the forefathers), one must let his guests hear the Vedas, dharma shastras, akhyanas (legends), itihasas, Puranas, etc. So, one should delight the brahmanas, serve them food gradually and by repeatedly praising the qualities of the food encourage them to eat more (Manu Smrt. 3.231, 232 and 233).<ref name=":1" />

* One should promptly feed a daughter's son at a funeral sacrifice, even if he be a student (brahmachari). For him to sit, one must offer a blanket made near the himalayas and sprinkle sesamum grains on the place of shraddha. At a Shraddha, a daughter's son, a blanket and sesamum grains are considered pure. And purity, absence of anger and patience are praised (Manu Smrt. 3.234 and 235).<ref name=":1" />

* Let him eagerly entertain at a funeral sacrifice a daughter's son, though he be a student, and let him place a Nepal blanket on the seat (of each guest), scattering sesamum grains on the ground. (3.234) There are three means of sanctification, (to be used) at a Shraddha, a daughter's son, a Nepal blanket, and sesamum grains; and they recommend three (other things) for it, cleanliness, suppression of anger, and absence of haste. (3.235)
