Shloka 30
गोप्रदान-माहात्म्ये गोलोक-प्रश्नः
Gopradāna-Māhātmya: Inquiry into Goloka
यद् वै ददाति वित्रेभ्यो ब्राह्मण: प्रतिगृह वै । उभयो: स्यात् तदक्षय्यं दातुरादातुरेव च
yad vai dadāti vitrebhyo brāhmaṇaḥ pratigṛhya vai | ubhayoḥ syāt tad akṣayyaṁ dātur ādātur eva ca ||
毗湿摩说道：当婆罗门受人施与，又将同样的财物转施给其他婆罗门时，此举之功德便对双方皆成无尽——对最初的施主，以及受纳后再分施之人。此教诲昭示：为神圣之用而施的财物，若以无贪之心受取，并以达摩之意转赠，便结长久之果。

Educational Q&A
Charity yields inexhaustible merit when a gift is accepted righteously and then shared onward; both the donor and the recipient who redistributes become beneficiaries of akṣayya (imperishable) punya.
In Bhishma’s instruction on dharma, he explains a rule of ethical giving: a Brahmin who receives a donation and passes it on to other Brahmins makes the merit of the original gift enduring for both giver and receiver.
