Before the Pinda offering, the Karta takes a Darbha blade and symbolically removes the "lepa" (leftover karma) from the mouth of the Pitrs. This is a distinctly Bodhayana rite, ensuring the ancestors are not forced to eat the remnants of bad deeds.
The ritual is viewed as a form of worship to the Lord, where the Pitrus are honored as manifestations of the Lord (Vasu, Rudra, and Aditya forms).
