Verses on Dhamma 2.7.p20

2.7.p20

‘‘Mātāpettibharaṃ jantuṃ, kule jeṭṭhāpacāyinaṃ;
Saṇhaṃ sakhilasambhāsaṃ, pesuṇeyyappahāyinaṃ.

If a man support his mother and father, if he honor his elders in the household,
If he be gentle and friendly in conversation, if he avoid backbiting,
If he steadfastly put away avarice, if he be truthful, if he suppress anger,
Such a man the Gods of the Thirty-three call a good man.
