When these ancestors of ours look at their family from the subtle and wide body, and feel that the people of our family neither have respect for us, nor do they have any love or affection, nor do they remember us on any occasion. If neither do nor try to repay their debts, then these souls become unhappy and curse their descendants, which is called "Pitra-Dosh".
