Nāradasya Rājadharma-praśnāḥ
Nārada’s Examination of Royal Ethics
कच्चित् ते कृषितन्त्रेषु गोषु पुष्पफलेषु च । धर्मार्थ च द्विजातिभ्यो दीयेते मधुसर्पिषी,क्या तुम्हारे यहाँ खेतीसे उत्पन्न होनेवाले अन्न तथा फल-फूल एवं गौओंसे प्राप्त होनेवाले दूध, घी आदिमेंसे मधु (अन्न) और घृत आदि धर्मके लिये ब्राह्मणोंको दिये जाते हैं?
kaccit te kṛṣitantrēṣu gōṣu puṣpaphalēṣu ca | dharmārthaṃ ca dvijātibhyō dīyatē madhusarpīṣī ||
那罗陀说：“告诉我——你国中农作之产、牛群之利，以及花果之收，可都用得其所？又为正法之故，你是否向二次生者（婆罗门）施与相称的供品——蜂蜜与酥油（以及其他清净滋养之物）？”

Educational Q&A
A ruler’s prosperity (agriculture, cattle, orchards) should be ethically directed: resources must support dharma through proper giving—especially sustaining the learned and ritual order via gifts like honey and ghee.
Nārada, in a sequence of probing questions about governance and righteousness, asks whether the kingdom’s produce and wealth are being used for religious duty—specifically, whether offerings and gifts are being duly given to the twice-born.
