Gopradāna-Māhātmya: Inquiry into Goloka
वैशाख्यां पौर्णमास्यां तु तिलान् दद्याद् द्विजातिषु | तिला भक्षयितव्याशक्ष सदा त्वालम्भनं च तै:,वैशाखकी पूर्णिमाको ब्राह्मणोंके लिये तिलदान दे, तिल खाये और सदा तिलोंका ही उबटन लगाये
vaiśākhyāṁ paurṇamāsyāṁ tu tilān dadyād dvijātiṣu | tilā bhakṣayitavyāś ca sadā tv ālambanaṁ ca taiḥ ||
قال يَما: «في يوم البدر من شهر فَيْشاخا (Vaiśākha) ينبغي أن يُتصدَّق بحبّات السِّمسم على ذوي الميلادين، ولا سيّما البراهمة. وينبغي أيضًا أكل السِّمسم، ومواظبة دهن الجسد بمرهمٍ أو زيتٍ قائمٍ على السِّمسم.»

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches a simple dharmic observance: on an auspicious calendrical moment (Vaiśākha full moon), one should practice dāna by giving sesame to the dvijas, and also cultivate personal discipline through consuming sesame and using it as a regular body-application—uniting generosity, purity, and regulated conduct.
Yama is instructing the listener on specific meritorious practices (a vrata-like regimen) tied to a particular day. The focus is prescriptive rather than dramatic: it lists what should be done—donation to dvijas and personal use of sesame—as part of dharma-oriented conduct.
