दातव्यं राजतं पात्रं सौवर्ण वापि शक्तितः । यथोक्तस्याप्रदाने तु यथोक्ताकरणेऽपि वा ॥ ८२ ॥
dātavyaṃ rājataṃ pātraṃ sauvarṇa vāpi śaktitaḥ | yathoktasyāpradāne tu yathoktākaraṇe'pi vā || 82 ||
چاندی کا برتن دان میں دینا چاہیے، یا استطاعت کے مطابق سونے کا بھی۔ لیکن اگر مقررہ دان نہ دیا جائے یا مقررہ طریقہ نہ کیا جائے تو عمل ناقص شمار ہوتا ہے۔
Narada (teaching in a dharma/ritual instruction context within Uttara-Bhaga)
Vrata: none
Rasa: {"primary_rasa":"shanta","secondary_rasa":"bhayanaka","emotional_journey":"Begins as calm prescription (silver/gold vessel), then turns cautionary about invalidity through omission."}
It emphasizes niyama (discipline) in dharma: offerings should be made as prescribed, and omissions in dana or procedure diminish the integrity and fruit of the rite.
By stressing sincere, capacity-based offering (śaktitaḥ) and faithful adherence to prescribed worship, it supports bhakti as careful, reverent service rather than casual ritualism.
Kalpa (ritual procedure) is implied: correct materials (silver/gold vessel) and correct performance are required; failure in either is treated as a lapse in the prescribed rite.
