भोजयन्ति किल श्राद्धे केचित् स्वानेव बान्धवान्। ततः पश्चात् समीक्षन्ते कृतकार्या द्विजोत्तमान्॥ तत्र ये गुणवन्तश्च विद्वांसश्च द्विजातयः। न पश्चात् तेऽभिमन्यन्ते सुधामपि सुरोपमाः॥
bhojayanti kila śrāddhe kecit svāneva bāndhavān| tataḥ paścāt samīkṣante kṛtakāryā dvijottamān|| tatra ye guṇavantaśca vidvāṃsaśca dvijātayaḥ| na paścāt te'bhimanyante sudhāmapi suropamāḥ||
English Meaning
Some on the occasions of the Sradha (first) feast their own friends, and having done this, they mind the choice Brāhmaṇas. But those twice-born ones that are meritorious, learned, and like to celestials, do not at the last moment regard even viands resembling ambrosia.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
