Shloka 966
Devanagari script
दद्यादपश्च यः शक््त्या सर्वे तुल्यफला: स्मृता: । “श्रद्धापूर्वक दान देनेवाले मनुष्यमें यदि एक हजार देनेकी शक्ति हो तो वह सौका दान करे, सौ देनेकी शक्तिवाला दसका दान करे तथा जिसके पास कुछ न हो, वह यदि अपनी शक्तिके अनुसार जल ही दान कर दे तो इन सबका फल बराबर माना गया है
Translation
Whoever gives with faith according to his ability—if he has the power to give a thousand, let him give a hundred; if he can give a hundred, let him give ten; and if he has nothing, yet gives even water according to his capacity—of all these the fruit is remembered to be the same.
