Shloka 2.32.15
द्वात्रिंशस्सर्गः — Gifts to Suyajna and the Brahmins; Trijata’s Petition and Rama’s Charity
कौसल्यां च य आशीर्भिर्भक्तः पर्युपतिष्ठति।आचार्यस्तैत्तिरीयाणामभिरूपश्च वेदवित्।।।।तस्य यानं च दासीश्च सौमित्रे सम्प्रदापय।कौशेयानि च वस्त्राणि यावत्तुष्यति स द्विजः।।।।
tarpayasva mahābāho gosahasraiś ca mānada |
suvarṇai rajataiś caiva maṇibhiś ca mahādhanaiḥ ||
Satisfy them, O mighty-armed one, bestower of honor, with gifts of a thousand cows, and also with gold, silver, and precious gems of great value.
O Lakshmana, give away chariots, maid-servants, silk clothes to learned brahmins of Taittiriya branch and well-versed in the Vedas, to agreeable and faithful brahmins attending on Kausalya with their blessings till they are fully satisfied.
Generosity aligned with honor: giving is not mere display but a dharmic act meant to genuinely ‘satisfy’ the worthy through respectful support.
Rāma continues instructing Lakṣmaṇa about the specific forms of gifts to be offered to revered brahmins/sages.
Magnanimity and propriety: Rāma emphasizes abundant yet respectful giving, matching recipients’ dignity.
