Adhyāya 90: Babhruvāhana’s Reception and the Commencement of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Aśvamedha
Devanagari script
दद्यादपश्च यः शक््त्या सर्वे तुल्यफला: स्मृता: । “श्रद्धापूर्वक दान देनेवाले मनुष्यमें यदि एक हजार देनेकी शक्ति हो तो वह सौका दान करे
Translation
Ang sinumang nagbibigay nang may pananampalataya, ayon sa kanyang kaya—kung may lakas na magbigay ng isang libo, magbigay ng isang daan; kung may lakas na magbigay ng isang daan, magbigay ng sampu; at kung wala man siyang anuman, kung ayon sa kanyang makakaya’y tubig lamang ang maiaalay—ang bunga ng lahat ng ito ay itinuturing na magkakapantay.
