इच्छासंस्थं च यद्दानं काम्यमित्यभिधीयते । कालापेक्षं क्रियापेक्षं गुणापेक्षमिति स्मृतौ
icchāsaṃsthaṃ ca yaddānaṃ kāmyamityabhidhīyate | kālāpekṣaṃ kriyāpekṣaṃ guṇāpekṣamiti smṛtau
個人的な欲望に拠ってなされる布施は「カームヤ(欲求に基づく施し)」と称される。スムリティには、それが時機に依り、儀礼を正しく行うことに依り、また受け手の徳と資質に依ると説かれている。
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) addressing the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative convention)
Scene: A donor consults an ācārya with a pañcāṅga; then performs a formal saṅkalpa and gives to a worthy recipient; three symbolic pillars labeled by objects: sundial/moon (kāla), ritual fire/spoon (kriyā), and a serene ascetic/learned person (guṇa).
Desire-based charity is recognized, but it must be aligned with right timing, right method, and worthy recipients to be dharmically effective.
No tīrtha is mentioned; the verse is a dharma teaching about how gifts should be evaluated.
Kāmya-dāna should be performed with attention to appropriate time (kāla), correct ritual/action (kriyā), and the recipient’s virtues (guṇa).
