नैवेशिकं सर्वगुणोपपन्नं ददाति वै यस्तु नरो द्विजाय । स्वाध्यायचारित्र्यगुणान्विताय तस्यापि लोका: कुरुषूत्तरेषु
naiveśikaṁ sarvaguṇopapannaṁ dadāti vai yastu naro dvijāya | svādhyāyacāritryaguṇānvitāya tasyāpi lokāḥ kuruṣūttareṣu ||
যি মানুহে স্বাধ্যায় আৰু সদাচাৰগুণেৰে যুক্ত দ্বিজ ব্ৰাহ্মণক সৰ্বগুণসম্পন্ন বাসগৃহ দান কৰে—তেওঁৰ বাবে উত্তৰ কুরু অঞ্চলত লোক লাভ হয়।

Educational Q&A
Supporting a worthy, learned, and morally disciplined Brahmin by providing a well-furnished residence is praised as a high form of dāna; it yields great spiritual merit and an exalted posthumous destination.
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.
