6. Thus, with a heart full of intense love to his son who was no other than his own self and with the wrong notion and strong desire that his son should become learned, the father taught his son, though neglected by the latter, all the duties of a bachelor, viz, cleanliness, study of the Vedas, regulated life, worship of preceptor and fire, service and the like; but not having realised his wishes, overtaken by the ever vigilant Time, the father, who had lost sight of everything else in his attachment to domestic life, was withdrawn from the scene.
