Matuposaka Sutta. Matuposako Brahmin (The Brahmin who nourished his mother). At the time, Matuposako Brahmin approached the Buddha, exchanged friendly greetings and sat on a side. The Brahmin said to the Buddha: “Good Gotama, I earn righteously and nourish mother and father. Good Gotama, acting thus am I doing my duties?” The Buddha said, Very well, Brahmin, acting thus you are doing your duties. Brahmin, he who earns by righteous means and nourishes his mother and father accrues much merit.
