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 “Yagna” named Srihari will give trupti to our pitrugalu.

“Saptanna” ಸಪ್ತಾನ್ನ in Pinda pradhana during Paksha/Shraddha –
सप्तान्न प्रकरण (हरिकथामृतसार – पितृगणसंधि १४)
एळुविध अन्नप्रकरणव
केळि कोविदरास्यदिंदलि
आलसव माडदॆलॆ अनिरुद्धादि रूपगळ ।
कालकालदि नॆनॆदु पूजिसु
स्ठूलमतिगळिगिदनु पेळदॆ
श्रीलकुमिवल्लभनॆ अन्नादन्न अन्नदनु ॥
“Saptanna prakaraNa” is found in BruhadaraNyak upanishat. Acharya Madhwa has given the explanation in detail in his bhashya on Bruhadaranyakopanishat. As per that Paramathma prepares SEVEN annaas viz., मनस्सु, वाक्, प्राण, अन्न, बलि, होम, गोक्षीर – ಮನಸ್ಸು, ವಾಕ್, ಪ್ರಾಣ, ಅನ್ನ, ಬಲಿ, ಹೋಮ, ಗೋಕ್ಷೀರ.
. Out of them, he keeps मनस्सु, वाक्, प्राण with himself. That is why if we do the smarpana of मनस्सु, वाक्, इंद्रिय, that will be Mahanaivedya to him. Fourth अन्न (anna) – reserved for gods. As such, if one eats अन्न without doing the samarpana to gods, he will be treated as one who steals the devasva brahmasva and would be akshayapataki. Fifth & Sixth बलि, होम, are anna for gods. Seventh गोक्षीर is visheshanna – animals are grown with the milk of their mother only (calf growing from her cow’s milk) – In this way we have to do the upasana of Saptanna.
The seven kinds of ANNA ಅನ್ನ are further described as :
1. Sadharana anna – ಸಾಧಾರಣ ಅನ್ನ One should think the food is created for all to eat but not only to him. It is created by God for the benefit of all. When food is taken like this, then the God would be pleased.
2. Vaishwadeva anna – ವೈಶ್ವದೇವ ಅನ್ನ – With the Akara of Swara offered to gods, by stating “Brahmane swaha”, – this food is offered to devataas through AGNI.
3. Baliharana anna – ಬಲಿಹರಣ ಅನ್ನ – For the pitru through pitru devataas stating “sva dhaayai na mama na mama” “स्व धायै न मम न मम”
4. Manas Anna – ಮಾನಸ ಅನ್ನ – Keeping the mind in paramathma in his lotus foot and doing the karmas as bhagavat sankalpa. Completely understanding the jeeva is dependent and paramathma is staying in us and doing the job. We have to do the chintana as “naham karta hari: kartha”. “नाहम् कर्त हरि: कर्थ” This is called as “manas anna”.
5. Vak anna – ವಾಕ್ ಅನ್ನ – The words spoken. We should speak only to glorify Srihari and other gods. We must understand that Paramathma is in us and and making us to speak. This is Vak annapuja to Srihari.
6. Sharira anna – ಶರೀರ ಅನ್ನ Karmas done by the sharira. Performance of Yagna, aradhana, controlling our mind, vak for Srihari.
7. Milk – ಹಾಲು – Anna is milk and water – Water is created by God for the animals and human for living. Milk created for our additional food and for devatas for using in homa.
