The Eulogy and Procedure of the ‘Honey-Cow’ Gift
Madhudhenudāna
संक्रान्त्यामुपरागे च सर्वकाले यदृच्छया॥ द्रव्यब्राह्मणसम्पत्तिं दृष्ट्वा तां प्रतिपादयेत्॥
saṃkrāntyām uparāge ca sarva-kāle yadṛcchayā || dravya-brāhmaṇa-sampattiṃ dṛṣṭvā tāṃ pratipādayet ||
संक्रांति के दिन या ग्रहण के टाइम यह दान करना चाहिए। असल बात यह है के जब भी मौका मिले और पास पैसा हो, तब करना चाहिए। पहले देखना पड़ेगा के सामान अवेलेबल है या नहीं। फिर किसी पंडित को ढूंढना है जो यह गिफ्ट ले सके।
