पितुरन्तःपुरं दद्यान्मातुर्दद्यान्महानसम् । गोषु चात्मसमं दद्यात्स्वयमेव कृषिं व्रजेत् । भृत्यैर्वणिज्याचारं च पुत्रैः सेवेत ब्राह्मणान्॥५-३८-१२॥

One should assign the inner household to one’s father and the kitchen to one’s mother; among the cattle one should allot an equal share to oneself, and personally attend to agriculture. Through servants one should conduct trade, and with one’s sons one should render service to brāhmaṇas.
