Adhyāya 60: Dāna vs. Yajña—Royal Giving, Protection, and Karmic Share
नैवेशिकं सर्वगुणोपपन्नं ददाति वै यस्तु नरो द्विजाय । स्वाध्यायचारित्र्यगुणान्विताय तस्यापि लोका: कुरुषूत्तरेषु
naiveśikaṁ sarvaguṇopapannaṁ dadāti vai yastu naro dvijāya | svādhyāyacāritryaguṇānvitāya tasyāpi lokāḥ kuruṣūttareṣu ||
قال فايشَمبايانا: الرجل الذي يهب مسكنًا مُحكم الإعداد، جامعًا لكل خصلة حسنة، لبرهمن من «ذوي الميلادين» (dvija) متحلٍّ بعلم الدراسة المقدسة (svādhyāya) وبالاستقامة في السلوك—ينال لنفسه عوالم في نواحي الكورو الشمالية.

Vaiśampāyana is describing the fruits of specific charitable acts. Here he states the reward for gifting a proper dwelling to a dvija who is characterized by svādhyāya (sacred learning) and good conduct.
