Fire offering made at the close of the ancestral rites, with oblations on the prescribed mantras — from a single homa to an extended yajna.
A homa on the mantras prescribed for the pitrs, closing the ancestral rites with purnahuti.
The homa preceded by tarpana, offered where the rites have gone unperformed and the sequence is being completed.
The full shanti puja and the homa performed as one observance — tarpana, shraddha and the fire offering in their traditional order.
The extended fire rite: a yajna with a sustained oblation sequence, preceded by the full nivarana observance.
The fullest fire observance offered here, carried across several days, closing a complete course of ancestral rites for the whole line.
The ancestral rites are customarily closed in the fire. After tarpana, shraddha and pinda-dana, agni is established and the oblations are offered on the mantras prescribed for the pitrs, which completes the sequence. The packages below are distinguished by how much of the preceding observance is included and whether the fire rite is a single homa or an extended yajna carried across days.
Fire is the traditional means by which an offering is carried, and the pitr rites use it as the deva rites do — with their own mantras and their own direction of offering. Closing a shraddha with a homa is therefore not an addition but the completion of the prescribed order.
