स्वर्णमल्पं च यो दद्याद्ब्राह्मणे वेदपारगे । शुभां गतिमवाप्नोति ह्यग्निवच्चैव दीप्यते
svarṇamalpaṃ ca yo dadyādbrāhmaṇe vedapārage | śubhāṃ gatimavāpnoti hyagnivaccaiva dīpyate
جو ویدوں کے پارنگت برہمن کو تھوڑا سا بھی سونا دان کرے، وہ شُبھ گتی پاتا ہے اور آگ کی مانند روشن ہو جاتا ہے۔
Brahmā (deduced: Vaiṣṇavakhaṇḍa narrative style—Brahmā to Nārada)
Scene: A pilgrim respectfully offers a small gold coin/ornament into the hands of a serene Veda-knowing Brāhmaṇa; a subtle flame-like aura surrounds the donor, symbolizing tejas and auspicious destiny.
Charity given with discernment—supporting true Vedic learning—brings auspicious spiritual uplift and inner radiance.
The broader context is Ayodhyāmāhātmya; the verse supports the dharmic atmosphere of giving associated with the praised tīrtha-region.
Svarṇa-dāna: donating even a small amount of gold to a Veda-proficient Brāhmaṇa.
