ॐ केशवाय स्वाहा (आचामति) ॐ नारायणाय स्वाहा ॐ माधवाय स्वाहा

ॐ पितरः सोम्या गम्भीरैः पितरो वसुसंभवाः। पितरः पितृपुत्राश्च पितृन् यज्ञेषु यज्ञिया तर्पयन्तु॥

| Mistake | Correction (as per Yajurveda) | | :--- | :--- | | | For Devas/Sages – Upavita (left shoulder). For Pitrus – Apasavya (right shoulder, thread hanging down back). | | Facing wrong direction | Initially face East (Devas). For Pitrus, face South – the direction of Yama. | | Using plain water | Always mix tila (black sesame). As per Taittiriya Aranyaka , "Tilodaka" sanctifies. | | Omitting Darbha ring | The Pavitri (darbha ring) worn on the right-hand ring finger is mandatory for purity. | | Rushing | Each mantra should be chanted slowly, with Swadha Namah pronounced clearly. The sound should be audible to you alone. | | Skipping Tarpanam for unknown ancestors (Nama Gotra heena) | The PDF includes a mantra: "अज्ञातनामगोत्रेभ्यः पितृभ्यः स्वधा नमः" – this covers them. Do not skip. | Part 6: Sample Page from an Ideal Sanskrit PDF (Text Representation) Below is how the first page of a correctly formatted Yajurveda Amavasya Tharpanam PDF should appear (Devanagari): ॥ कृष्णयजुर्वेदीय तैत्तिरीय शाखीय दर्श तर्पण प्रयोगः ॥

ॐ पाद्यं समर्पयामि।
