Adhyāya 57 — Arjuna’s Vow-Anxiety, Kṛṣṇa’s Counsel, and the Pāśupata Authorization
तस्मिन् संवितते यज्ञे दक्षिणामत्यकालयत् । उस विशाल यज्ञमें नाना प्रकारके रत्नों तथा भाँति-भाँतिके अन्नोंके पर्वत-समान ढेर उन्होंने दक्षिणारूपमें दिये
tasmin saṃvitate yajñe dakṣiṇām atyakalayat |
ナーラダは語った。その祭祀が正しく整えられ、滞りなく進められるや、彼は比類なきダクシナー(dakṣiṇā)を配分した。その大いなる儀礼において、彼は山のごとく積み上がるほどの贈与—種々の宝玉と、さまざまな穀物—を施し、祭儀の秩序と社会の務めを支える、豊饒な寛施の徳を示した。
नारद उवाच
The verse highlights dāna (generosity) as an ethical pillar of yajña: a rite is not merely performance of ritual acts, but also the responsible redistribution of wealth through dakṣiṇā, honoring those who sustain sacred and social order.
Nārada describes a grand sacrifice that has been properly organized; the patron then grants an exceptionally large dakṣiṇā, giving mountain-like heaps of jewels and abundant grains as gifts.
