* A Brahmachari must bring as per need water-filled pots, flowers, cowdung, clay and kusha grass and ask for bhiksha everyday.
Infact, this is ordained as a brahmachari's constant behaviour also towards other gurus imparting knowledge, father and others who are well-wishers saving him from adharma. Moreover, one must behave as one does with a guru also with those senior by knowledge, tapas, virtues, son of the guru and anyone related to the guru. It is said that being a teacher of Vedas, a guru's son is considered equivalent to the guru himself, even if younger or same aged as oneself or a student in Yajna karma. Because, just as one obtains water by digging the ground with a spade, so does one obtain the knowledge held by the guru through Seva.<ref name=":12" /><blockquote>विद्यागुरुष्वेवं एव नित्या वृत्तिः स्वयोनिषु । प्रतिषेधत्सु चाधर्माद्धितं चोपदिशत्स्वपि । । २.२०६ । ।

Also, the satisfaction of three people ie. the mother, father and guru is said to get all tapas accomplished. By honouring them all that ought to be done by man, is considered accomplished; It is clearly considered the highest duty, every other act is a subordinate duty. (Manu 2.229 and 237) Hence it is said,<blockquote>तयोर्नित्यं प्रियं कुर्यादाचार्यस्य च सर्वदा । तेष्वेव त्रिषु तुष्टेषु तपः सर्वं समाप्यते । । २.२२८ । ।<ref name=":1" />
