patrabhojī kāṃsyapātraṃ ghṛtapūrṇaṃ prayacchati | bhūmiśayyāvrate deyā śayyā ślakṣṇā satūlikā
مَن يأكل في أطباقٍ من أوراقٍ فليُهدِ إناءً من البرونز مملوءًا بالسمن المصفّى. ولِنذرِ الاضطجاع على الأرض تُعطى سريرٌ أملس مع فراشٍ؛ فذلك هو العطاء اللائق بتلك العبادة.
Unspecified (narrative instruction within Dharmāraṇya Khaṇḍa)
Listener: A king (rājan) implied by surrounding address in the section
Scene: A vrata-observer with simple leaf-plate meal offers a bronze vessel brimming with ghee; nearby, a smooth bed with a rolled mattress is presented as dāna, with a calm hermitage or dharma-assembly backdrop.
Austerity should be balanced with compassionate giving—one donates in a way that corresponds to one’s vow.
Dharmāraṇya is the implied sacred setting of the section, where dharma-based gifts are praised.
Donate a bronze vessel filled with ghee for leaf-plate eating; donate a smooth bed with mattress for the ground-sleeping vow.
