PITHRUBHAKTI- a different test for sons

Now- a –days, the time has come that some people call their parents by their names even in india. But there was one time where the fathers and mothers are well respected and they had very strange ways to test their children about their devotion towards parents. This strange story was said in Padma purana in Bhumi khanda.

There lived a brahmin named Shiv sharma lived in Dwarika at west coastal part of India. He had 5 sons named

1. Yajna sharma
2. Veda sharm
3. Dharma sharma
4. Vishnu sharma
5. Som sharma

And all the 5 sons are well educated in vedas, vedangas and equally talented as their father and always obeys the orders of their parents.

Once Shiv sharma wanted to test his sons for their PITHRUBHAKTI. And for that he opted an unique ways to test his each son.
