अलौल्या लोभरहिता दानधर्मपरायणाः । आस्तिकाश्चैव धर्मज्ञाः स्वामिभक्तिरताश्च ये
alaulyā lobharahitā dānadharmaparāyaṇāḥ | āstikāścaiva dharmajñāḥ svāmibhaktiratāśca ye
أولئك الذين لا تطيش قلوبهم، وقد تخلّصوا من الطمع، وجعلوا الدّانة (dāna) والدَّرما (dharma) غايتهم؛ وهم آستيكا (āstika) أهل إيمان، عارفون بالدَّرما، ثابتون في التعبّد لسيدهم—فهؤلاء يُمدَحون هنا.
Sūta (contextual narration within the Dharmāraṇyakhaṇḍa dialogue)
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka and the assembled ṛṣis
Scene: A calm forest-āśrama discourse: sages seated on kuśa mats, a narrator extolling virtues—non-greed, charity, faith—while householders offer alms and listen with folded hands.
A dharmic life is marked by freedom from greed, commitment to charity, faith in dharma, and loyal devotion.
This verse is ethical instruction within Dharmāraṇya; no single tīrtha is explicitly named in the shloka.
It emphasizes dāna (charitable giving) as a core dharmic practice, without specifying a particular rite.
