गोप्रदान-माहात्म्ये गोलोक-प्रश्नः
Gopradāna-Māhātmya: Inquiry into Goloka
रत्नदानं च सुमहत् पुण्यमुक्तं जनाधिप । यस्तान् विक्रीय यजते ब्राह्मणो हाभयंकरम्,जनेश्वर! रत्नदानका भी बहुत बड़ा पुण्य बताया गया है। जो ब्राह्मण दानमें मिले हुए रत्नको बेचकर उसके द्वारा यज्ञ करता है, उसके लिये वह प्रतिग्रह भयदायक नहीं होता
ratnadānaṃ ca sumahat puṇyam uktaṃ janādhipa | yas tān vikrīya yajate brāhmaṇo hābhayaṅkaram ||
ビーシュマは言った。「王よ、宝玉の布施はきわめて大いなる功徳と説かれる。もしバラモンが施しとして受けた宝玉を売り、その代価によってヤジュニャ（祭祀）を行うなら、その受納は彼にとって恐れの因とはならぬ。」

Educational Q&A
Jewels given in charity are highly meritorious, and a brāhmaṇa who converts such gifted wealth into sacrificial action (by selling the jewels and funding a yajña) is not tainted by the usual ethical anxiety surrounding acceptance of gifts (pratigraha).
In Bhīṣma’s instruction on dharma to the king, he explains how certain forms of giving and receiving—specifically jewel-gifts and their use for sacrifice—are ethically validated, emphasizing intention and proper religious use of wealth.
