Śoka-śamana: Kṛṣṇa’s Consolation and Nārada’s Exempla to Sṛñjaya
Chapter 29
द्विजातिभ्यो<नुरूपेभ्य: कामांश्न विविधान् बहून् । यस्यादेशेन तद् वित्त व्यभजन्त द्विजातय:
dvijātibhyo 'nurūpebhyaḥ kāmān sa vividhān bahūn | yasyādeśena tad vittaṁ vyabhajanta dvijātayaḥ ||
বায়ু বললেন—যোগ্য দ্বিজদের তিনি তাদের উপযুক্ত বহু ও নানাবিধ ভোগ্য বস্তু প্রদান করেছিলেন। তাঁর আদেশে দ্বিজরা সেই ধন নিজেদের মধ্যে ভাগ করে নেয়।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dāna as a dharmic act: wealth should be given appropriately to deserving recipients, and the giver should allow the learned community to allocate it fairly, emphasizing propriety, restraint, and social responsibility.
Vāyu describes a benefactor (contextually a king) who provides abundant comforts and wealth to suitable twice-born recipients; following his instruction, the Brahmins distribute the donated wealth among themselves.
