For which types of death is Narayan Bali specifically prescribed?

The Garuda Purana and related scriptures classify these as Durmaran (requiring Narayan Bali): death by weapon strike or violence, suicide, drowning, fire, accident, sudden illness outside the normal life-span, snakebite, attack by wild animals (lions, tigers) or horned animals (bulls), lightning strike, black magic or sorcery (Maran, Mohan, Uchchatan), Brahmin’s curse (Brahmadand), being touched by an untouchable at the moment of death, and any death where the scriptural last rites (Antyeshti) could not be completed properly. Families whose ancestors suffered any such death are traditionally advised to perform Narayan Bali at least once, ideally within the first year but any time afterward is also valid.
