तत्र दानं प्रशंसंति तिलानां मुनिपुंगवाः । तिलसंख्यानि वर्षाणि दानात्स्वर्गे वसेन्नृप
tatra dānaṃ praśaṃsaṃti tilānāṃ munipuṃgavāḥ | tilasaṃkhyāni varṣāṇi dānātsvarge vasennṛpa
وہاں منی پُنگَو تل کے دان کی بڑی ستائش کرتے ہیں۔ اے راجا، جتنے تل دان کیے جائیں، اتنے ہی برس اس خیرات کے سبب دانی سُوَرگ میں قیام پاتا ہے۔

Tirtha: Gautamāśrama Tīrtha (chapter context)
Type: kshetra
Listener: A king (nṛpa)
Scene: At a sacred ford near an āśrama, sages instruct a king; the king offers heaps of sesame into a donor’s hands beside ritual vessels and a small fire/kalasha, with the tīrtha waters glinting nearby.
Charity offered in a sacred setting multiplies in fruit; even simple gifts like sesame become vehicles of great merit.
The Gautamāśrama tīrtha-region described in Arbuda Khaṇḍa, where dāna is especially praised.
Tila-dāna—donation of sesame seeds—commended by sages with a stated heavenly reward.
