Dharma-vyādha’s Analysis of Moral Decline and the Mahābhūta–Guṇa Schema (धर्मव्याधोपदेशः)
Devanagari script
सुवर्णानां शतं तेन दत्त भवति शाश्वतम् । जो उत्तम वर्णवाले विशुद्ध ब्राह्मणको सुवर्ण-दान करता है उसे निरन्तर सौ स्वर्णमुद्राओंके दानका फल प्राप्त होता है
Transliteration
suvarṇānāṃ śataṃ tena dattaṃ bhavati śāśvatam |
Translation
Mārkaṇḍeya berkata: “Dengan perbuatan itu, dāna menjadi kekal—seakan-akan seratus keping emas telah didanakan.” Siapa yang mempersembahkan emas kepada brāhmaṇa yang suci dan unggul dalam sifat-sifatnya, memperoleh pahala yang menetap, setara dengan dāna seratus keping emas yang terus-menerus.
