शुष्केंधनानां भारांश्च दद्याच्छीतापनुत्तये । कंचुकं तूलगर्भं च तूलिकां सूपवीतिकाम्
śuṣkeṃdhanānāṃ bhārāṃśca dadyācchītāpanuttaye | kaṃcukaṃ tūlagarbhaṃ ca tūlikāṃ sūpavītikām
لدفع البرد يُعطى حِملٌ من الحطب اليابس، ويُعطى كذلك قميصٌ طويل، وثيابٌ محشوة بالقطن، ووسادةٌ صغيرة، وكساءٌ دافئ يُلتفّ به.

Tirtha: Śīta-śānti dāna in Kāśī during Māgha
Type: kshetra
Scene: On a chilly Kāśī ghat, donors hand over bundles of dry wood and warm garments to shivering ascetics; a small fire burns; cotton bedding and shawls are distributed.
Compassionate charity that removes others’ suffering—like cold—is praised as potent dharma.
Kāśī is the scriptural setting; the verse supports the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s guidance for meritorious acts in the holy city.
Give dry firewood bundles and warm clothing/bedding items to protect people from winter cold.
