Gopradāna–Bhūmidāna Guidelines and Recipient Eligibility
घृतं मासे आश्वयुजि विप्रेभ्यो यः प्रयच्छति । तस्मै प्रयच्छतो रूप॑ प्रीतौ देवाविहाश्विनौ
ghṛtaṃ māse āśvayuje viprebhyo yaḥ prayacchati | tasmai prayacchato rūpaṃ prītau devāv ihāśvinau ||
Wika ni Bhīṣma: Sinumang sa buwan ng Āśvayuja ay maghandog ng ghee sa mga brāhmaṇa—ang kambal na Aśvin, mga banal na manggagamot, na nalulugod sa alay, ay maggagawad sa kanya ng kagandahan at kaanyuan dito mismo sa daigdig na ito.

Educational Q&A
Timely and pure giving—specifically ghee offered to worthy brāhmaṇas in the month of Āśvayuja—is upheld as dharma that brings visible benefit: the refinement of one’s rūpa (beauty/comeliness) through divine favor.
In Bhīṣma’s instruction on dharma (Anuśāsana Parva), he lists a specific charitable act and its फल (result): the Aśvin twins, pleased, grant the donor beauty in this world.
