तिलपात्रं प्रदातव्यं दीपं गाः कांचना दिकम् । यमदेवं समुद्दिश्य मुच्यते सर्वपातकैः
tilapātraṃ pradātavyaṃ dīpaṃ gāḥ kāṃcanā dikam | yamadevaṃ samuddiśya mucyate sarvapātakaiḥ
Hãy dâng cúng một bình mè, một ngọn đèn, bò và vàng làm lễ thí—hồi hướng lên thần Yama; nhờ vậy được giải thoát khỏi mọi tội lỗi.
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.
