Note 26 — Chapter IV · WORSHIP OF ANCESTORS AND SAINTS.
Reading edition
As the saying goes Pitā putrena jāyate, that is a father is born in the form of the son, so the Pitriyas are born as descendants of their children, or according to the Bija vrikshanyāya, as a tree springs from its seed, that is, its offerings, so parents take birth as children of their offspring.26
