Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swamy please clarify

Eppadi we can say “Vasu pathni” and name first paati as Appa’s wife when doing Tarpanam

When Amma is alive ?

Adhu thappu dhane

So we should start from Rudra pathni roopA:
While Sankalpam?

Rudra, Adhithya pathni RupA: that’s all we can say

Being Pithru does it mean the relationship is beyond naming?

Even if that’s the case what’s the use of naming them?

We can just say father, grandfather, grandfather’s father

Mother’s father, Mother’s father’s father, Mother’s father’s father’s father

Why should we even name them?

How can name be retained after death of a person? Body itself is gone right so does name & all attributes related to that person remain?

Does Sharmana: even required?

The relationship should be from my angle & not the dead person’s angle isn’t it?

Vasu= Father
Vasu Pathni = None (Mother is alive)
Rudra = 1st Grandfather
Rudra Pathni = 1st Grandfather’s wife
Aditya Pathni = 2nd Grandfather’s wife

So we cannot say
VasuRudraAdithya pathni SwaRoopANAm it is wrong from my perspective

We should say only:
RudraAdithya pathni SwaRoopANAm if at all

Am replacing my 3 grand mother’s name every time and don’t feel correct

Please help
