भोभो वित्तपते वित्तं ददासि मखविप्लवे । तस्माद्यत्तेऽखिलं वित्तमभोग्यं संभविष्यति
bhobho vittapate vittaṃ dadāsi makhaviplave | tasmādyatte'khilaṃ vittamabhogyaṃ saṃbhaviṣyati
હે ધનાધિપતિ! વિઘ્નગ્રસ્ત યજ્ઞમાં તું ધન દાન કરે છે; તેથી તારો સર્વ ધન અભોગ્ય બનશે, ભોગ માટે અયોગ્ય રહેશે।
Sāvitrī (deduced from immediate narrative context; explicitly named in 192.83)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A wealthy patron offers heaps of coins and grain into a chaotic sacrifice; the offerings darken, turning inert—symbolizing ‘abhogya’ wealth.
Charity and ritual action (dāna in yajña) must be aligned with dharma; when a rite is corrupted, its fruits can turn barren or harmful.
This verse sits within the Nāgarakhaṇḍa’s Tīrthamāhātmya narrative frame; the immediate line emphasizes ritual dharma rather than naming a single tīrtha in this shloka.
It refers to dāna (giving wealth) in the context of a yajña; the warning implies the need for a properly conducted sacrifice.
