[200] Householder's son, teachers, as the southern quarter (dakkhiṇā disā), should be ministered to by a pupil in five ways: by rising for them, by waiting upon them, by eagerness to listen, by personal service, and by respectfully receiving instruction in the arts (sippa). Householder's son, teachers, as the southern quarter, ministered to by a pupil in these five ways, show sympathy to the pupil in five ways: they train him so that he is well trained; they make him grasp so that it is well grasped; they instruct him thoroughly in all the arts; they make him known among their friends and colleagues; they provide protection for him in the quarters. Householder's son, teachers, as the southern quarter, ministered to by a pupil in these five ways, show sympathy to the pupil in these five ways. Thus for him this southern quarter is covered, made secure and free from peril.
