Educational Q&A
That giving ghee as a charitable or sacrificial offering is a dharmic act that pleases key Vedic deities—especially Agni as the carrier of offerings—thereby supporting ritual order and accruing religious merit.
In Bhīṣma’s instruction on dharma (especially gifts and their fruits), he specifies a particular donation—ghee—and states which deities are gratified by it, guiding the listener toward appropriate, tradition-grounded acts of giving.
