तत्रापि काकिणी मात्रं यच्छेत्पितृमुदे नरः । अक्षयं फलमाप्नोति धर्मपीठप्रभावतः
tatrāpi kākiṇī mātraṃ yacchetpitṛmude naraḥ | akṣayaṃ phalamāpnoti dharmapīṭhaprabhāvataḥ
तेथेही पितरांच्या आनंदासाठी जर मनुष्य फक्त एक काकिणी दान देईल, तर धर्मपीठाच्या प्रभावाने त्याला अक्षय फळ मिळते.

Tirtha: Dharmapīṭha
Type: kshetra
Listener: Agastya (Kumbhaja)
Scene: At Dharmapīṭha, a pilgrim offers a single small coin with folded hands, dedicating it to the pitṛs; a subtle aura indicates ‘akṣaya’ merit flowing upward.
Sincere intention and sacred place together magnify even a tiny act of charity into imperishable merit.
Dharmapīṭha (associated with Dharmatīrtha) in Kāśī.
Dāna—even as small as one kākiṇī—offered with the aim of pleasing the Pitṛs.
