Pitru Tarpana

Those who have the Adhikâra (eligiblity) to give Tarpana should follow these rituals.  Tarpana should be given on 96 days in a year.  This is called Shannavati. Sri Jagannâthadâsaru has explained the importance of Shannavati in Pitruganasandhi of Sri Harihathâmrutasâra –

shaNNavatiembaxarEdDyanu

shaNnavati nAmadali karesuta

tannavaru sadbhaktipUrvakadimda mADutiha ||

puNya karmava svIkarisi kA-

ruNyasAgara salahuvanu bra-

hmaNyadEva bhavAbdipOta bahuprakAradali || 14.9 ||

 

The 96 days includes --

1. 12 Amâvâsya

2. 12 Sankramana

3. 15 days in Pitru Paxa (Bhâdrapada Krishna Paxa)

4. Vaidhruti and Vyatîpâta yoga (2 in every month totals to 24)

5. 14 Manvantara

6. Pûrvedyu, Ashtaka, Anvashtaka (Saptami, Ashtami and Navami) of Bhâdrapada, Margashira, Pushya, Mâgha and Phâlguna Krishna Paxa,  totals to 15)

7. Kruta, Treta, Dvâpara and Kaliugâdi days

This totals to 96 days.  Apart from the above days, Tarpana should also be given on Grahana day and a special day called Arthodaya/Mahodaya.  In the month of Pushya or Mâgha (1), if the Amaavaasya(2) falls on Sunday(3), the Naxatra is Shravana(4) and the Yoga is Vaidhruti(5) then it is called Ardhodaya.  If any one of the (3) or (4) or (5) is missing, then it is called Mahodaya.

If more than one event falls on the same day, then the importance is given to the rare occurance and the Sankalpa is performed to the highest important event.  The preference in the increased order is Amâvâsya, Uttarâyana/Daxinâyana, Grahana, Ardhodaya/Mahodaya.  For ex. if either Uttarâyana or Daxinâyana falls on Amâvâsya, then sankalpa should be performed for the latter.  On that day if there is a Grahana, then sankalpa should be for Grahana.  If it happens to be Ardhodaya/Mahodaya, then the sankalpa should be for Ardhodaya/Mahodaya.  On a single day Tarpana should not be given for more than one occasion.

If anyone of the above mentioned (96) days falls on Ekâdashi, then Tarpana should not be given.   Instead Pavamâna Sûkta should be recited.
