Shloka 256
Nṛga-upākhyāna: Brāhmaṇa-sva and the Consequence of Misappropriated Gift-Cattle (कृकलास-रूपे नृगोपाख्यानम्)
Devanagari script
षष्ठमंशं क्रतोस्तस्य भूमिदान प्रचक्रिरे । पर्वतराज हिमालयके पास यज्ञ पूरा करके देवताओंने भूमिदान भी किया, जो उस यज्ञके छठे भागके बराबर पुण्यका जनक था
Transliteration
ṣaṣṭham aṁśaṁ kratos tasya bhūmidānaṁ pracakrire |
Translation
Bhishma berkata: Kemudian mereka melaksanakan pemberian tanah (bhūmi-dāna), suatu derma yang dianggap melahirkan pahala setara dengan satu per enam daripada korban itu. Dalam kerangka etika Anushasana Parva, ayat ini menegaskan bahawa yajña tidak sempurna dengan pelaksanaan ritual semata-mata; ia dimahkotai oleh dāna—terutama bhūmi-dāna—melalui mana pahala korban dikongsi dan menjadi penopang kesejahteraan masyarakat.
