यतिश्चेत्प्रार्थयेल्लोभाद्दीयमानं प्रतिग्रहम् । न तस्य देयं विद्वद्भिर्न लोभः शस्यते यतेः
yatiścetprārthayellobhāddīyamānaṃ pratigraham | na tasya deyaṃ vidvadbhirna lobhaḥ śasyate yateḥ
اگر کوئی یتی لالچ سے اس دان کو مانگے جو دیا جا رہا ہو تو اہلِ دانش کو اسے نہ دینا چاہیے؛ کیونکہ یتی کے لیے حرص کبھی پسندیدہ نہیں۔
Skanda (deduced from Prabhāsa-kṣetra Māhātmya didactic narration context)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A greedy ascetic reaches out insistently for a gift; a wise donor gently withdraws and instead offers to a serene, self-controlled mendicant or to a feeding hall, illustrating pātra-vicāra.
Renunciation is incompatible with greed; discernment is required in giving.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra provides the sacred setting; the verse teaches standards for righteous giving within that pilgrimage ethos.
A dāna restriction: do not give to an ascetic who begs out of greed.
