(The above Subhashita indirectly exhorts people to serve their mothers with devotion and diligence, which  will give them 'punya' more than the 'punya' earned by doing pilgrimages of far off religious places, doing  'Tapa' , and daily religious chores like bathing and prayer etc.   'Punya' is a concept of Hindu Religion , which implies that by following a righteous and religious lifestyle, a person earns certain plus points, which  place him in a very comfortable position and status in his next life cycle or even during his lifetime as well. )
