Educational Q&A
Generosity that meets essential human needs—clothing, ornaments (as support and dignity), meals, drinking water, and grain—and that strengthens other families is praised as a high form of dharma, yielding great spiritual merit and leading to heavenly attainment.
In the Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma. Here he enumerates specific forms of dāna (charitable giving) and states their फल (result): those who give such support, especially aiding households, are said to become svargagāmin (attainers of heaven).
