Shloka 33
Skanda–Mātṛgaṇa-janma: Kumārakāḥ, Kanyāgaṇāḥ, and the Vīrāṣṭaka (स्कन्द-मातृगण-सम्भवः)
स तु गत्वा द्विज: सर्वा शुश्रूषां कृतवांस्तदा । मातापितृभ्यां वृद्धाभ्यां यथान्यायं सुशंसित:,घर जाकर उस ब्राह्मणने अपने माता-पिताकी सब प्रकारकी सेवा-शुश्रूषा की और उन बूढ़े माता-पिताने प्रसन्न होकर उसकी यथायोग्य प्रशंसा की
sa tu gatvā dvijaḥ sarvāṁ śuśrūṣāṁ kṛtavāṁs tadā | mātāpitṛbhyāṁ vृद्धābhyāṁ yathānyāyaṁ suśaṁsitaḥ ||
তাৰ পাছত সেই ব্ৰাহ্মণ গৃহলৈ গৈ নিজৰ বৃদ্ধ মাতৃ-পিতৃৰ সকলো ধৰণে সেৱা-শুশ্ৰূষা কৰিলে। সন্তুষ্ট হৈ সেই বৃদ্ধ মাতৃ-পিতৃয়ে ন্যায়ানুসাৰে তাক যথোচিতভাৱে প্ৰশংসা কৰিলে।

Educational Q&A
Dharma is shown through śuśrūṣā—humble, sustained service to one’s aged parents; such conduct is ‘yathānyāya’ (in accord with propriety) and naturally earns rightful praise.
Markandeya narrates that the brahmin returns home and diligently serves his elderly mother and father; satisfied, they commend him appropriately for his dutiful behavior.
