Shloka 3
Śrāddha-Kalpa: Pitṛ-Pūjā and Tithi-Phala (श्राद्धकल्पः पितृपूजा च तिथिफलम्)
पूयन्ते तत्र नियतं प्रयच्छन्तो वसुन्धराम् । सर्वे च कथिता धर्मास्त्वया मे कुरुनन्दन,उनमें वे ही पवित्र होते हैं जो नियमपूर्वक पृथ्वीका दान करते हैं। कुरुनन्दन! आपने मुझसे समस्त धर्मोंका वर्णन किया है
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca |
pūyante tatra niyataṃ prayacchanto vasundharām |
sarve ca kathitā dharmās tvayā me kurunandana |
Di sana, mereka yang dengan ketertiban dan disiplin menganugerahkan bumi (tanah) sebagai dana niscaya disucikan. Wahai kebanggaan Kuru, engkau telah menjelaskan kepadaku seluruh dharma.

Educational Q&A
Regular, disciplined charity—especially the gift of land (a foundational resource for livelihood)—is presented as a powerful purifier, and dharma is framed as something to be learned through systematic instruction from an elder authority.
Yudhiṣṭhira, receiving instruction on dharma from Bhīṣma, acknowledges the teaching and highlights a specific point: those who consistently donate land attain purification in the described spiritual outcome.
