Chapter 1
Acaryah:-I should serve respected and benevolent teachers, such as Drona etc., rather than fight them. It is appropriate on our part, even to sacrifice out lives at their feet.
Pitarah:-How can we slay our uncles (fathers), out of anger or greed, when we have got this body linked with them?
Putrah:-It is our duty to bring up our sons and our brother's sons, even though they may stand against us or act badly.
Pitamahah:-When our gland-uncles are worthy of adoration, as our father, they deserve still greater adoration, from us. Though, they may rebuke and punish as, yet we should not cause any suffering to them, we should rather serve them and give comfort to them.
Matulah:-Our maternal uncles, being the brothers of our mothers, who rear us, deserve adoration from as.
Svasurah:-These fathers-in-law, are the father to my wife and my brother's wives. They are just like fathers to us. So how can I slay them?
Pautrah:-We should bring up our grandsons, in a better way, than our sons, rather than kill them.
Syalah:-How can we slay the loving brothers of our wives?
Sambandhinah:-I should serve and bring up all the relatives, rather than kill them. It is improper on our part, to kill them, even for the sovereignty of the three worlds.
