§ 106.

This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: "Living with Brahma are those families where, in the home, mother & father are revered by the children. 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. 'Brahma' is a designation for mother & father. 'The first devas' is a designation for mother & father. 'The first teachers' is a designation for mother & father. 'Those worthy of gifts' is a designation 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.
