Vānaprastha-dharma and Tapas: Śiva–Umā Saṃvāda
Forest-Stage Discipline and Austerity
अस्माकं परितोषश्न अक्षय: परिकीरत्त्यते | इस तरह निष्कपट भावसे किया हुआ दान अक्षय एवं महान् फलदायक होता है और उससे हमें भी अक्षय संतोष प्राप्त होता है--ऐसा शास्त्रका कथन है ।।
śakra uvāca | asmākaṃ paritoṣaś ca akṣayaḥ parikīrtyate | śraddadhānāś ca ye martyā āhariṣyanti santatim ||
释迦罗（Śakra，帝释）说道：“经论宣示：我们的满足亦是无尽的。因此，以坦荡无欺之心所行之布施，成为不坏之施，结大果报；由此我们也得无穷的安足——此乃《沙斯特拉》（śāstra）之教。凡人若以信心施与，必能保得绵延不绝的子孙之系。”

Educational Q&A
Gifts offered with sincere faith and without deceit yield imperishable merit; such giving brings lasting satisfaction to the divine order as well, and it supports the giver’s enduring welfare, including continuity of lineage.
Indra (Śakra) speaks as an authority figure, affirming a śāstric principle: pure-hearted charity produces inexhaustible results and divine contentment, and he adds that faithful mortals who give will obtain lasting progeny.
