Educational Q&A
The colophon highlights the ethical principle that giving (dāna) is not merely an act of generosity but a dharmic practice whose value depends greatly on the worthiness (pātratā) of the recipient; hence the need for ‘pātraparīkṣā’, careful discernment in charity.
This line is a concluding colophon stating that a chapter has ended: within the Anuśāsana Parvan’s discourse on the dharma of giving, the unit dealing with ‘examining the recipient’ is completed (the thirty-seventh chapter of that thematic sequence).
