दृष्ट्वा प्रियाणि श्रुत्वा वा हर्षवद्यत्प्रदीयते । हर्षदानमिति प्रोक्तं दानं तद्धर्मचिंतकैः
dṛṣṭvā priyāṇi śrutvā vā harṣavadyatpradīyate | harṣadānamiti proktaṃ dānaṃ taddharmaciṃtakaiḥ
A dádiva oferecida com júbilo, após ver ou ouvir algo agradável, é chamada pelos que contemplam o dharma de “harṣa-dāna”, o dom da alegria.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced)
Scene: After hearing sacred recitation or seeing a deity/saint, a devotee smiles and offers gifts with bright, open posture; surrounding devotees sing; lamps and flowers create a festive aura.
Emotional uplift can inspire giving; dharma-tradition recognizes joy as a distinct motive shaping the nature of charity.
No tīrtha is mentioned; this is a general dharma teaching.
None directly; it defines a category of dāna characterized by gladness and pleasant stimulus.
