yo jyeṣṭho jyeṣṭhavṛttiḥ syān māteva sa piteva saḥ
ajyeṣṭhavṛttir yas tu syāt sa saṃpūjyas tu bandhuvat //
If the eldest brother behaves as an eldest brother (ought to do), he (must be treated) like a mother and like a father; but if he behaves in a manner unworthy of an eldest brother, he should yet be honoured like a kinsman.
