You are modest, born in a noble lineage, learned, and compassionate. Therefore, dear one—O bull among the Bhāratas—abide by the instruction of your father and your mother.

O Bhārata, what a father instructs is regarded as beneficial. When one reaches a critical predicament, one remembers the father’s governance and admonition.

श्रुत्वा यः सुहृदां शास्त्रं मर्त्यो न प्रतिपद्यते । विपाकान्ते दहत्येनं किंपाकमिव भक्षितम्॥५-१२२-२०॥
One who hears the disciplined counsel of well-wishers yet does not adopt it is, when its consequences ripen, scorched by it—like one who has eaten the kiṃpāka fruit.
