Aquele que come em pratos de folhas deve oferecer um vaso de bronze cheio de ghee. E, para o voto de dormir no chão, deve-se doar um leito liso com colchão; tal é a dádiva apropriada a essa observância.
Unspecified (narrative instruction within Dharmāraṇya Khaṇḍa)
Listener: A king (rājan) implied by surrounding address in the section
Scene: A vrata-observer with simple leaf-plate meal offers a bronze vessel brimming with ghee; nearby, a smooth bed with a rolled mattress is presented as dāna, with a calm hermitage or dharma-assembly backdrop.
Austerity should be balanced with compassionate giving—one donates in a way that corresponds to one’s vow.
Dharmāraṇya is the implied sacred setting of the section, where dharma-based gifts are praised.
Donate a bronze vessel filled with ghee for leaf-plate eating; donate a smooth bed with mattress for the ground-sleeping vow.
