पत्रभोजी कांस्यपात्रं घृतपूर्णं प्रयच्छति । भूमिशय्याव्रते देया शय्या श्लक्ष्णा सतूलिका
patrabhojī kāṃsyapātraṃ ghṛtapūrṇaṃ prayacchati | bhūmiśayyāvrate deyā śayyā ślakṣṇā satūlikā
Ang kumakain sa dahong-plato ay maghandog ng sisidlang tanso na puno ng ghee. At sa panatang pagtulog sa lupa, magbigay ng makinis na higaan na may kutson—iyan ang nararapat na kaloob sa gayong pagtalima.
Unspecified (narrative instruction within Dharmāraṇya Khaṇḍa)
Listener: A king (rājan) implied by surrounding address in the section
Scene: A vrata-observer with simple leaf-plate meal offers a bronze vessel brimming with ghee; nearby, a smooth bed with a rolled mattress is presented as dāna, with a calm hermitage or dharma-assembly backdrop.
Austerity should be balanced with compassionate giving—one donates in a way that corresponds to one’s vow.
Dharmāraṇya is the implied sacred setting of the section, where dharma-based gifts are praised.
Donate a bronze vessel filled with ghee for leaf-plate eating; donate a smooth bed with mattress for the ground-sleeping vow.
