For Father
“AmukGotrah AsmatPita AmukSharma Vasuroopastripyatamidam Teelodakam (GangaJalam Vaa) Tasmey Swadha Namah, Tasmey Swadha Namah, Tasmey Swadha Namah.”
Replace AmukGotrah with : Family Gotra
AsmatPita: Use for father
AmukSharma: Father’s Name

Tasmey Swadha Namah 3 times while leaving (offering) water from hand
To Grand Father
Replace AsmatPita with Asmatpitamah
Replace Vasuroopastripyatamidam with Rudraroopastripyatamidam
Replace AmukSharma with Grand Father’s Name
Tarpan to Mother
“AmukGotraa Asmnamata AmukiDevi Vasuroopaa Tripyatamidam Teelodakam (GangaJalam Vaa) Tasmey Swadha Namah, Tasmey Swadha Namah, Tasmey Swadha Namah.”
It is true that mantra is a great medium for pray and offerings.
But love, attachment, feelings, sentiments, emotions, regards, Bhawana is a prime not mantras.
