  1. When a person supports his parents,
    And respects the family elders;
    When his speech is gentle and courteous,
    And he refrains from divisive words;

    When he strives to remove meanness,
    Is truthful, and vanquishes anger,
    The Tavatimsa devas call him
    Truly a superior person.
    ~SN11.11
