For fceding at a Shraddha it is impossible in this world to have a Bhikshu (mendicant, ascetic, Sanyasin), a person devoting his time to yoga alone, and seeker after Truth (a true Philosopher). Hence one should earnestly try to satisfy completely such persons. The food offered at a Shraddha by a Shudra should not be eaten by a Brahmana. Likewise the food made sacred by a Brahmana at the time of Shraddha should not be given by him to a Shudra, without following the rules of distribution.
