The last line is very important to understand. For elders, money alone do not count. They need love and care from their children. This cannot be bought but can only be given. Disrespecting elders, not taking care of them in their old age, not maintaining them with dignity, not showering love on them are serious sins, which will manifest in the form of misfortunes in this life itself. This cannot be prevented in any way.

Suddenly I got thought that Dasavataras not only indicate 10 numbers but 10 stages (Dasa) of a human being such as Matsya (child in mother's womb survives on liquids), Koorma (a baby is always protected by elders like tortoise having impregnable skull), Varaha (Kissing mouth - a grown baby is liked to be kissed), Narasimha (A still grown beats persons elder to him), Vamana (The child taken to some other residence makes the roof and floor together and accompanying parent broods his head), Parusurama (Student age, gets easily enraged without understanding consequences), Rama (A youth does thinking society needs and even marries because Society wants), Krishna (An adult with goal and object irrespective of right or wrong path), Buddha (Pre-old man teaches to be sincere although he might have committed wrongs) and the last is Kaliyug (Old Man - Senior Citizen - All the youngsters pay respect but no one is ready to serve if asked for)

To my knowledge there is only one parā bīja and it is sauḥ.

What are the different para bijas other than sauh as you mentioned earlier? Eka askshara bijas are all para bijas? What is the para bija of Guhyakali and kamakala kali?

It depends upon the mantra. Vikṛti is only the effect. It all depends upon a particular mantra, its nature, its potency, bīja-s used, formation of mantra, whether is encased (sampuṭīkaraṇa), etc. When a mantra is capable of giving mukti, it is to be understood, that it is also capable of granting material benefits. But when an aspirant is seeking mukti, he will not ask for material benefits. Ultimately, it is only the mind that matters.

Thank you for the explanation sir. So If a prakriti mantra is sure to give us Mukti (since it has the potency)then will a vikriti mantra (Produced) will give only material benefits? I hope I understood it clearly.

There are different classifications of bīja mantras (not japa mantras) based on their potency. A bīja is monosyllabic sound, mostly one or more vowel or consonants and ending with bindu, for example aṁ, laṁ, raṁ, kaṁ. Potency is measured on their capacity to give mukti. There are japa mantras that are very powerful and are capable of giving only liberation (mukti) only if the japa mantra contains many para bīja-s (parabīja also refers to sauḥ, which is not part of this discussion here). Let us take OM, which is a prakṛti mantra, which means a source mantra. Similarly other bīja mantras evolve from a source mantra, which is called prakṛti and the effect of this bīja mantra is called vikṛti. Technically speaking, prakṛti is the source and vikṛti is the effect and this phenomenon is known as prakṛti- vikṛti concept. There are certain mantras which are gross in nature and are considered as a lower category mantra. Here comes the concept of ātmabīja, which is given to the disciple by his Guru. At the time of initiation, a Guru gives two mantras to his disciple. One is the bīja mantra which is known as ātmabīja, which directly works on his soul and another mantra is pada mantra, which is a regular mantra like Bālā, Pañcadaśī, etc. At the time of initiation, Guru advises his disciple how to use the ātmabīja given to him. A lot can be discussed about mantras. I hope that I have answered your query.
