When there is nothing to give

न मेऽस्ति वित्तं न धनं च नान्यच्छ्राद्धोपयोग्यं स्वपितॄन्नतोऽस्मि।

na me'sti vittaṁ na dhanaṁ ca nānyacchrāddhopayogyaṁ svapitr̥̄nnato'smi.

I have no wealth, no money, nothing else fit for a shraddh. To my pitars I bow.

तृप्यन्तु भक्त्या पितरो मयैतौ कृतौ भुजौ वर्त्मनि मारुतस्य॥

tr̥pyantu bhaktyā pitaro mayaitau kr̥tau bhujau vartmani mārutasya.

May the pitars be satisfied by my devotion: I have raised these two arms into the path of the wind.
