Educational Q&A
That tiladāna (donation of sesame) is regarded as an especially excellent form of charity, and that its spiritual efficacy depends on following the proper vidhi (prescribed procedure) as taught by Bhīṣma.
Bhīṣma, instructing Yudhiṣṭhira in Anuśāsana Parva, concludes a section by stating that he has explained the supreme sesame-donation and the method by which it is praised as meritorious.
