Living with the first devas are those families where, in the home, mother & father are revered by the children. Living with the first teachers are those families where, in the home, mother & father are revered by the children. Living with those worthy of gifts are those families where, in the home, mother & father are revered by the children. ),

('â', Those worthy of giftsâ is a synonym for mother & father. Why is that? Mother & father do much for their children. They care for them, nourish them, introduce them to this world." Mother & father, compassionate to their family, are called Brahma, first teachers, those worthy of gifts from their children. So the wise should pay them homage, honor, with food & drink, clothing & bedding, anointing & bathing, & washing their feet. Performing these services to their parents, the wise are praised right here and after death rejoice in heaven. See also: ANÂ 2:31—32; ANÂ 4:63 - --> - - - -
