पुत्राणां हि परो धर्मः पितृशुश्रूषणं सताम् ।
अपि पुत्रवतां ब्रह्मन् किमुत ब्रह्मचारिणाम् ॥ २८ ॥
putranam-of sons; hi-indeed; parah-superior; dharmah-religious principle; pitr-susrusanam-the service of the parents; satam-good; api-even; putra-vatam-of those who have sons; brahman-O dear brahmana; kim uta-what to speak; brahmacarinam-of brahmacaris.
O brahmana, the highest duty of a son, even though he has sons of his own, is to serve his parents, and what to speak of a son who is a brahmacari?
