Kumārasutta untranslated

Kumārasutta. The Licchavī Mahā Nāma sees a number of Licchavī youths sitting by the Buddha, at the foot of a tree in the Mahā Vana at Vesālī; be expresses his joy at the sight for, he says, the Licchavīs are usually so mischievous. The Buddha thereupon tells Mahā Nāma of five things the practice of which will tend to progress: the tending of father and mother, the support of wife and children with well-gotten wealth, devotion to one’s own business, honouring one’s own ancestral gods, showing respect to good and holy men.
