Karna
When the legendary donor Karna died in the epic Mahabharata war, his soul transcended to heaven, he became plagued with extreme hunger, but any food he touched became gold instantly. Karna and Surya went to Indra and asked him about the cause of this incident. Indra told Karna that he had donated gold his entire life, but had never donated food to his ancestors in shraddha. Hence, the ancestors of kuru who were stuck in limbo cursed him, Karna said that since he was unaware of his ancestry, he never donated anything in their memory. To make amends, Karna was permitted to return to the earth for 15–day period, so that he could perform shraddha to them and donate food and water in their memory. This period is now known as Pitru Paksha.

In some legends, Yama replaces Indra.

Dhanvantari
An interesting story is told about the legendary physician Dhanwantri When he died, his disciples wanted to hold his Shradh . He had told them not to do so, but to eat his flesh so that they could become like him. As the disciples were preparing for that, Yama, the god of death appeared, and, fearing losing their souls, forbade them from eating the body.

He cunningly told them to throw away the flesh that they had already cut out. This, the disciples did, and three other living beings ate it blessed with longevity were : the ants,

and a woman from the so-called cobbler caste, named Cheta. Incidentally, even today, Vaids begin their prescription with the word “Cheta” to assure long life for their patients.

Vyuha
Srihari will be in Pradyumna – Sankarshana – Vaasudeva – Aniruddha and Janardhana Roopa and will be called as ” anna – annada – annaada ( अन्न अन्नद अन्नाद ಅನ್ನ ಅನ್ನದ ಅನ್ನಾದ )
- He will be with the name “anna” in all the food items that we eat.
- He is called as “annada” – as he gives food for all animals/every one.
- He is called as “annaada” as he is vishwabhuk – that is, he eats the entire jagath during mahapralaya kaala
2. Swadhaa – Jayapathi Sankarshana will give trupthi to devategalu
3. Khadya, Peya, Lehya, ChoShya, – Kruthipathi pradyumna will give trupti to devategalu
4. TruNaadi – Shanthipathi anirudda will give trupti to devategalu.

Saptanna
We will not be knowing as to which loka, our pitru devategalu have gone.
https://ncest.blogspot.com/search/label/loka
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.

respectable
The qualities of a respectable transaction mentioned as Shraddha (श्रद्धा) are outlined in this section. In the Taittiriya Upanisad, the Guru imparts the student to be charitable. It mentions various conditions of charity
- Give with respect/honour (Sraddha deyam)
- Don’t give with disrespect/dishonour
- Give according to one’s prosperity/capacity
- Give with modesty
- Give with awe and respect
- Give with fellow-feeling and friendly attitude
In the Mahabharata, story of Shibi Chakravarti is narrated wherein he explained that he does not give dana for prestige or gain. He gives dana only because it is the righteous path of dharma, on which the best have always walked.
