तिलपात्रं प्रदातव्यं दीपं गाः कांचना दिकम् । यमदेवं समुद्दिश्य मुच्यते सर्वपातकैः
tilapātraṃ pradātavyaṃ dīpaṃ gāḥ kāṃcanā dikam | yamadevaṃ samuddiśya mucyate sarvapātakaiḥ
تل کا برتن، چراغ، گائیں اور سونا—یہ دان یم دیو کے نام پر نذر کرکے دینا چاہیے؛ اس سے انسان تمام گناہوں سے رہائی پاتا ہے۔
Śiva (Īśvara)
Tirtha: Yameśvara (Prabhāsa)
Type: temple
Scene: A donor presents a sesame-filled vessel and a lit lamp before the shrine; cows are ceremonially gifted; gold is offered to a worthy recipient, all dedicated to Yama as Dharmarāja.
Dāna offered with right intention—dedicated to the deity of Dharma—functions as purificatory practice and supports ethical living.
The instruction belongs to Prabhāsa-kṣetra’s Yameśvara context, where gifts are offered with Yama in mind.
Offer sesame in a vessel, perform lamp-gifting, donate cows and gold, dedicating the merit to Lord Yama for release from sins.
