Educational Q&A
Land-gift (bhūmi-dāna) is portrayed as exceptionally fruitful: like seed in soil yielding abundant harvest, donating land is said to make one’s aims succeed and to attract the approval of major deities, emphasizing charity as a central expression of dharma.
In the Anushasana Parva’s instruction on dharma, Bhishma continues advising on gifts and righteous conduct. Here he praises bhūmi-dāna with an agricultural simile and states that prominent gods—Sun, Varuna, Vishnu, Brahma, Moon, Agni, and Shiva—commend the land-donor.
