Listen to me, O Yudhishthira, what the merit is of the worship of the father and the mother. He who dutifully serves his father without ever provO king him in anything, or similarly serves his mother or (elder) brother or other senior or preceptor, it should be known, O king, acquires a residence in Heaven. The man of purified soul, on account of such service done to his seniors, has never to even see Hell.
