will sustain them in old age who supported me in youth : 

 The family duties incumbent on them I will perform : I 

 will guard their possessions, I will watch over their proper- 

 ty, and when they die I will perform their funeral solem- 

 nities. In these five modes, Gahapati, the parents, forming 

 thefeast quarter, are to he ministered to. The parents also 

 in five modes shew their affection to their son : They re- 

 strain him from vice, and train him in virtue ; they cause 

 him to be instructed in arts and sciences ; provide him with 

 a suitable wife, and at a proper season, endow him with an 

 inheritance. Thus the east quarter is preserved in peace 

 and free from danger. 



In five respects, Gahapati, the pupil should minister to 

 his teacher, who is as the south quarter : He should rise up 

 in his presence ; wait upon him ; listen to all that he says 

 with respectful attention ; perform the duties necessary for 

 his personal comfort; and carefully attend to his instruc- 

 tion. In these five respects the pupil should minister to his 

 teacher. And in five things the teacher shews his affec= 

 tion to his pupil : He trains him in virtue and good manners ; 

 carefully instructs him ; imparts unto him a knowledge of 

 the sciences and wisdom of the ancients ; speaks well of him 

 to friends and relations, and guards him from danger. In 

 these five modes the teacher shews his affection to his pu- 

 pil, and thus the south quarter is preserved in peace and 

 free from danger. 



In these five respects, Gahapati, the husband should mi- 

 nister to his wife, who is as the west quarter. He should 

 treat her with respectful attention; his language to her 

 should be courteous and affectionate; he should not illicitly 

 consort with other women ; should cause her to be honoured 

 by others, and furnish her with suitable ornaments and ap- 

 parel. In these five modes the husband should minister to 

 his wife who is as the west quarter. And in five respects 

 the wife should shew her affection towards her husband : 

 she should affectionately attend to his personal wants ; 

 superintend his household ; preserve her chastity inviolate ; 

 be careful of her husband's property ; and shew diligence 

 and activity in all she has to do. In these five things the 

 wife should shew her affection to her husband. Thus the 

 west quarter will be preserved in peace and free from 

 danger. 



In these five respects, Gahapati, the honorable man mi- 

 nisters to his friends and relatives who are as the north
