न शोकपरितापेन श्रेयसा युज्यते मृतः। यदत्रान्तरं कार्यं तत् समाधातुमर्हथ ॥
na śokaparitāpena śreyasā yujyate mṛtaḥ| yadatrāntaraṃ kāryaṃ tat samādhātumarhatha ||
English Meaning
Grief and lamentations do not tend to the welfare of the deceased. It therefore behoveth you to perform the after ceremonies.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
