सुभद्रेण च सर्वस्वं देयं विप्रेभ्य एव च । चतुर्थांशश्च यैर्भुक्तं तद्गृहे स्वधनस्य च
subhadreṇa ca sarvasvaṃ deyaṃ viprebhya eva ca | caturthāṃśaśca yairbhuktaṃ tadgṛhe svadhanasya ca
શુભ ભાવથી પોતાનું સર્વસ્વ બ્રાહ્મણોને જ અર્પણ કરવું જોઈએ. અને જેમણે ચોથો ભાગ ભોગવ્યો/લાભ લીધો હોય, તેઓ પોતાના ઘરમાં પોતાના ધનનો ચોથો ભાગ આપે.
Unspecified (instructional voice in the Nāgara-khaṇḍa narrative)
Scene: Householders present deeds, coins, grain, and valuables to seated brāhmaṇas; a sense of solemn renunciation pervades, while scribes record shares—full gifts for some, a quarter-share for those who previously enjoyed benefits.
Purification and welfare are pursued through generous dāna, especially to worthy brāhmaṇas, as a dharmic remedy.
The tīrtha context is the Nāgara Khaṇḍa’s Tīrthamāhātmya; the particular place-name is not stated in this verse.
Dāna: giving wealth to brāhmaṇas; additionally, a “fourth share” (caturthāṃśa) of one’s wealth is prescribed for those who partook/benefited.
