The regular ancestral observance — tarpana and the prescribed offerings made for the forebears of a line, without reference to a stated dosha.
The regular observance: sankalpa in the names of the forebears and the prescribed offerings made in their names.
The observance with a full tarpana sequence, water and sesame offered to each named forebear in turn.
A counted observance across sittings, with tarpana repeated and the prescribed recitations carried through.
The extended anushthan, joining tarpana to shraddha and pinda-dana and carrying the observance across several days.
The rites offered for all the forebears of the line together, in the fullest form, with a closing homa.
Where the dosha puja answers a particular indication, pitru shanti is the ordinary observance a family keeps for its forebears: the rites offered in their names, at the times the tradition sets, whether or not anything has gone unperformed. It is the form most often taken up during Pitru Paksha and on a forebear's tithi, and the packages below scale from a single tarpana sitting through to an observance kept for all the forebears of the line.
Shraddha and tarpana are householder obligations rather than occasional rites, and the calendar sets their times: the dark fortnight of Bhadrapada, Amavasya each month, and the tithi on which a forebear died. Keeping them is what the tradition means by pitru shanti — not the settling of a problem, but the maintenance of a relation.
