आदित्या इव दीप्यन्ते तेजसा भुवि मानवा: । ददन्ति वसुधां स्फीतां ये वेदविदुषि द्विजे
Ādityā iva dīpyante tejasā bhuvi mānavāḥ | Dadanti vasudhāṃ sphītāṃ ye vedaviduṣi dvije ||
毗湿摩说:“正如阿底提耶诸神以光辉炽然,人亦能以自身的灵性与德行之辉在世间照耀——尤其是那些识得通晓吠陀的婆罗门学者,而将肥沃丰饶之地施与他的人。此等面向真正吠陀学识的布施,将成为长久声名与道德光彩的源泉。”

True radiance (tejas) in human life comes from dharmic generosity—especially the gift of prosperous land to a genuinely Veda-learned Brahmin—because it supports sacred learning and is praised as a high form of dana.
In Anushasana Parva, Bhishma is instructing Yudhishthira on dharma and the fruits of various gifts. Here he extols bhu-dana (land-gift) given to a qualified Veda-knower, saying such donors shine on earth like the solar deities.
