Shloka 33
Daśagrīva-boonāvaraṇa, Viṣṇv-avatāra-niyoga, Vānara-sahāya-janana, Mantharā-nirmāṇa
अन्यायात् समुपात्तेन दानधर्मो धनेन यः । क्रियते न स कर्तरिं त्रायते महतो भयात्,अन्यायसे प्राप्त किये हुए धनके द्वारा जो दानधर्म किया जाता है वह कर्ताकी महान् भयसे रक्षा नहीं कर पाता
anyāyāt samupāttena dānadharmo dhanena yaḥ | kriyate na sa kartāraṃ trāyate mahato bhayāt ||
Vyāsa dijo: «La caridad y los demás actos de dharma realizados con riqueza adquirida por la injusticia no protegen al que los hace del gran temor. No se aseguran fines éticos por medios antiéticos; la riqueza manchada no puede ser verdadero refugio para el dador.»

Educational Q&A
Acts of charity (dāna) gain protective merit only when supported by righteous means. Wealth obtained through injustice contaminates the act, so the giver is not safeguarded from grave fear or consequences.
In Vyāsa’s instruction within the Vana Parva discourse, he states a moral principle: dharmic acts performed using unrighteously acquired wealth fail to provide the intended spiritual or protective benefit to the performer.
