यतिश्चेत्प्रार्थयेल्लोभाद्दीयमानं प्रतिग्रहम् । न तस्य देयं विद्वद्भिर्न लोभः शस्यते यतेः
yatiścetprārthayellobhāddīyamānaṃ pratigraham | na tasya deyaṃ vidvadbhirna lobhaḥ śasyate yateḥ
ஒரு யதி பேராசையால் அளிக்கப்படும் தானத்தை வேண்டினால், அறிவுடையோர் அவனுக்கு அதை அளிக்கக் கூடாது; யதிக்குப் பேராசை எப்போதும் புகழத்தக்கதல்ல.
Skanda (deduced from Prabhāsa-kṣetra Māhātmya didactic narration context)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A greedy ascetic reaches out insistently for a gift; a wise donor gently withdraws and instead offers to a serene, self-controlled mendicant or to a feeding hall, illustrating pātra-vicāra.
Renunciation is incompatible with greed; discernment is required in giving.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra provides the sacred setting; the verse teaches standards for righteous giving within that pilgrimage ethos.
A dāna restriction: do not give to an ascetic who begs out of greed.
