Transliteration
gām aśvaṁ vittam annaṁ vā tadvidhe pratipādayet | dravyāṇi cānyāni tathā pretyabhāve na śocati ||
Translation
भीष्म ने कहा—गाय, घोड़ा, धन, अन्न तथा अन्य पदार्थ योग्य पात्र को देने चाहिए। इस प्रकार दिया हुआ दान दाता को मृत्यु के बाद पश्चात्ताप में नहीं डालता; सुपात्र में किया गया दान परलोक में शोक से रक्षा करता और धर्म की प्रतिष्ठा करता है।
