तस्मिन् देयं द्विजे दानं सर्वागमविजानता । प्रदातारं यथा55त्मानं तारयेद् यः स शक्तिमान्,सम्पूर्ण शास्त्रोंका ज्ञाता मानव उसी ब्राह्मणको दान दे, जो दाताका तथा अपना भी संसारसागरसे उद्धार कर सके। वही शक्तिशाली ब्राह्मण है
Transliteration
tasmin deyaṃ dvije dānaṃ sarvāgamavijānātā | pradātāraṃ yathātmānaṃ tārayet yaḥ sa śaktimān ||
Translation
അതുകൊണ്ട് സർവ്വശാസ്ത്രങ്ങളുടെ മർമ്മം അറിയുന്നവൻ, ദാതാവിനെയും തനെയും രണ്ടുപേരെയും സംസാരസാഗരത്തിൽ നിന്ന് കടത്തിവിടാൻ ശേഷിയുള്ള ആ ദ്വിജനേയ്ക്ക് ദാനം നൽകണം; അത്തരം ബ്രാഹ്മണനേയാണ് യഥാർത്ഥത്തിൽ ശക്തിമാൻ എന്നു പറയുന്നത്.
