Celui qui donne l’or obtient une longue vie ; celui qui donne le sésame est béni d’une bonne descendance. Celui qui donne une demeure atteint de hautes demeures ; celui qui donne des vêtements parvient au monde de la Lune.
Skanda (deduced)
Scene: A donor offers: a small gold piece in a cloth pouch; a bowl of sesame; keys/ritual deed for a dwelling; folded garments to a needy pilgrim—above, Soma (Moon deity) depicted as cool, luminous destination.
Selfless giving supports life and society, and karmically returns as longevity, progeny, prosperity, and heavenly attainment.
No specific tīrtha is mentioned; the focus is on dāna-phala (fruits of charity).
Types of dāna are enumerated—gold, sesame, housing, clothing—along with their promised results.
