Well, guessing usually doesn't work with XPath. It has its own way of doing
things.
You want $parentvar/ancestor::*[2]
or $parentVar/../..

I want to select grand parent of node denoted by variable
$parentvar, thats why I thought "ancestor::$parentvar[2]".

Could you please tell me what is wrong in xpath
"ancestor::$parentvar[2]" . It gives error saying it is not a valid
xpath.
Well, that's what's wrong with it - it isn't a valid XPath.
You made up the syntax, and I've no idea what you thought it
might mean. The thing after the "::" should be a node test,
which says what kind of nodes you want to select, e.g. "foo"
to select foo elements, or "*" to select all elements.
Perhaps you meant $parentvar/ancestor::*[2]? I've no idea, I
can only guess.
