Rudra-Śiva: Names, Two Natures, and the Logic of Epithets (रुद्रनाम-बहुरूपत्व-प्रकरणम्)
अपना कल्याण चाहनेवाले पुरुषको सदा अपनी शक्तिके अनुसार दान करना चाहिये। सदा यज्ञ करना चाहिये और सदा ही पुष्टिजनक कर्म करते रहना चाहिये ।।
dharmeṇārthaḥ samāhāryo dharmalabdhaṃ tridhā dhanam | kartavyaṃ dharmaparamaṃ mānavena prayatnataḥ ||
ମହାଦେବ ଶିଖାଇଲେ—ଯେ ନିଜ କଲ୍ୟାଣ ଚାହେ, ସେ ସଦା ନିଜ ଶକ୍ତିଅନୁସାରେ ଦାନ କରୁ, ସଦା ଯଜ୍ଞ କରୁ, ଏବଂ ସଦା ପୁଷ୍ଟିଜନକ କର୍ମରେ ଲଗ୍ନ ରହୁ। ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ଧର୍ମ ଦ୍ୱାରା ହିଁ ଧନ ଉପାର୍ଜନ କରିବା ଉଚିତ; ଧର୍ମଲବ୍ଧ ଧନକୁ ତିନି ଭାଗ କରିବା ଉଚିତ; ଏବଂ ପ୍ରୟତ୍ନପୂର୍ବକ ଧର୍ମପ୍ରଧାନ କର୍ମର ନିରନ୍ତର ଅନୁଷ୍ଠାନ କରିବା ଉଚିତ।

Educational Q&A
Earn wealth only by righteous means (dharma), then structure its use responsibly—dividing dharma-earned wealth into three parts—and prioritize dharma in all actions, including giving according to capacity and sustaining sacrificial/beneficial duties.
In Anuśāsana Parva’s instruction-focused setting, Śrī Maheśvara speaks as a moral teacher, laying down a rule for household and social ethics: righteous acquisition of wealth and its disciplined, dharma-first deployment through ongoing duties like dāna and yajña.
