However much he went to great lengths to be dutiful to them, he did not repay them with thanks.
مَهْمَا — however much. This is the concessive 'however much / no matter how', a word that opens a 'whatever the extent, still...' clause. It sets up a contrast: no matter how far the dutifulness goes, it falls short. Arabic uses it to grant the maximum effort and then deny it is enough.
