श्रोत्रिये कुलसम्पन्ने शुचिष्मति जितेन्द्रिये । श्रुताध्ययनसम्पन्ने दम्भहीने क्रियान्विते । त्रयोदशाहःस्वेकैकं त्रयोदशगुणं भवेत्
śrotriye kulasampanne śuciṣmati jitendriye | śrutādhyayanasampanne dambhahīne kriyānvite | trayodaśāhaḥsvekaikaṃ trayodaśaguṇaṃ bhavet
Для шротрии — благородного рода, чистого, владеющего собой, исполненного слушания и учения, свободного от лицемерия и утверждённого в праведных делах — каждый дар, поднесённый в течение тринадцати дней, приносит плод в тринадцать раз больший.

Scene: A dignified śrotriya brāhmaṇa—clean, restrained, holding scripture—receives a modest daily gift; a calendar-like motif or thirteen lamps suggests the thirteen-day rite and the ‘thirteenfold’ fruit.
Charity bears maximum fruit when offered to genuinely qualified, disciplined, and sincere recipients.
The instruction belongs to the Śūlabheda tīrtha-māhātmya context, explaining how dāna there becomes especially fruitful.
During a thirteen-day observance, each gift given to a qualified śrotriya is said to yield thirteenfold merit.
