अत्र यः कुरुते दानं यथाशक्त्या जितेन्द्रियः । स स्वर्गमतुलं प्राप्य न शोचति कदाचन
atra yaḥ kurute dānaṃ yathāśaktyā jitendriyaḥ | sa svargamatulaṃ prāpya na śocati kadācana
جو کوئی یہاں اپنی استطاعت کے مطابق، حواس کو قابو میں رکھ کر دان کرتا ہے، وہ بے مثال سُوَرگ کو پا کر کبھی کسی وقت غمگین نہیں ہوتا۔
Brahmā (deduced: Vaiṣṇavakhaṇḍa context—Brahmā addressing Nārada)
Tirtha: Ayodhyā-kṣetra (Gupta-Hari vicinity)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devas
Scene: A restrained pilgrim offers charity in the sacred city—calm face, controlled senses—receiving a serene, griefless blessing; the atmosphere is ethical and luminous rather than dramatic.
Charity done with self-restraint and within one’s means at a holy place yields lasting joy and freedom from sorrow.
Ayodhyā and its sacred precincts, as praised in the Ayodhyāmāhātmya.
Dāna (charitable giving) performed yathāśakti—according to one’s capacity—along with sense-control (jitendriyatā).
