How about this - 

$(this).parents("li:eq(1)").find("a:first").addClass("active");

$(this).closest('.siralaMain').addClass('active');

seem like you need to use:

 $(this).closest('ul').prev().addClass('active');

This works: 

$(this).parent().parent().parent().find("a").addClass("active");

Use

$(this).closest('li:has(.siralaMain)')
       .find('.siralaMain')
       .addClass('active');

Ugly parent chain is ugly.

$(this).parent("li").parent("li").find("a").eq(0).addClass("active");
