Educational Q&A
That giving (dāna) should be done in a manner appropriate to the situation and recipient, and it should be carried out with firm resolve—without wavering, hesitation, or half-heartedness.
Uttaṅka is speaking and emphasizing the proper mode of making a gift: whatever form of offering is suitable in the present context should be given decisively and with steadiness of purpose.
