Educational Q&A

The verse elevates dāna (a gift given in the spirit of dharma) as a ‘supreme gain’: true profit is not merely material accumulation but the ethical and spiritual value realized through righteous giving and humble acceptance.

A brāhmaṇa addresses a heroic figure called ‘Parantapa’ and declares that he will promptly accept the offered gift, emphasizing that this particular offering is, for him, the greatest of all benefits.
