5.16

"The eastern direction represents one's parents. If a person can make offerings to parents with clothing, food and drink, bedding, medicines, dwellings, and wealth and treasures, revering, bowing down to, praising, and honouring them, this person can make offerings to the parents of the eastern direction. These parents will in turn recompense them with five things: first, caring for them with utmost devotion; second, never deceiving them; third, relinquishing wealth and giving it to them; fourth, arranging marriage into a superior clan; and fifth, instructing them in worldly affairs."
