अहिंसयित्वा ब्रह्महत्याविधानम् / Brahmahatyā incurred without physical violence
साड़ांश्व चतुरो वेदानधीते यो द्विजर्षभ: । षड्भ्य: प्रवृत्त: कर्मभ्यस्तं पात्रमृषयो विदु:
sāṅgāṁś ca caturo vedān adhīte yo dvijarṣabhaḥ | ṣaḍbhyaḥ pravṛttaḥ karmabhyas taṁ pātram ṛṣayo viduḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「両生(ドヴィジャ)のうち最勝の者で、四ヴェーダをその補助学(ヴェーダーンガ)とともに学び、ブラーフマナにふさわしい六つの務め—学びと教え、祭祀を行い他者のために祭祀を執行し、施し与え、また受け取る—に励む者を、仙人たちは布施の最上の受器と知る。」

A truly worthy recipient of charity is defined by Vedic learning (with its auxiliaries) and consistent engagement in the six Brahminical duties; sages value disciplined practice of dharma as the basis for eligibility.
In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma instructs on dharma, including rules of giving. Here he specifies the qualities of an ideal donee (pātra) for gifts: a learned and duty-observant Brahmin.
