During Shraddha/Paksha, we have to give seven types of
Anna to Pitru Devategalu. After the death, Pitru
devategalu will have ashraya in one among the seven
loka ashrayaas viz.,
a) Devaloka, b) Svargaloka, c) Yamaloka,
d) Naraka loka, e) paishachika janma,
f) asura janma, g) maanushya janma.

We will not be knowing as to which loka our pitru
devategalu have gone. So, during pitruyagna, Saptanna
prakarana has been practiced by our ancesters. we are
giving saptanna. Because of this, Yajna namaka
Srihari will give trupti to our pitrugalu.

Devaloka, - ||'|| |-||: - If our Pitrugalu are in
Devaloka through Vaishwadeva, and Agnikarya, etc.,
they will be satisfied by our AgnoukaraNaakya anna i.e.,
