Yoga–Sāṃkhya Synthesis, Chariot Allegory, and the Vyakta–Avyakta Distinction
नाभ्यवर्तन्त नास्तिक्याद् वर्तन्त: सम्भवेष्वपि | कितने ही दानव पूर्वकालमें अपने पूर्वजोंद्वारा सुयोग्य ब्राह्मणोंको दानके रूपमें दी हुई जागीरें नास्तिकताके कारण उनके पास रहने नहीं देते हैं यद्यपि वे अन्य सम्भव उपायोंसे जीवन-निर्वाह कर सकते हैं तथापि उस दिये हुए दानको छीन लेते हैं ।।
nābhyavartanta nāstikyād vartantaḥ sambhaveṣv api |
释迦罗(因陀罗)说:“由于不信正法,他们不许那些合法的持有者继续安住其业,尽管他们自己本可凭其他可行之道维生。故在往昔,许多达那婆因不敬法而驱使,竟夺回其祖先曾依礼正当施与贤善婆罗门的田地封赐。”

A gift—especially a rightful endowment to worthy recipients—should not be reclaimed out of greed or irreligion. Even when one has other means of livelihood, violating dāna-dharma by seizing back what was given is portrayed as a moral failure rooted in nāstikya.
Indra (Śakra), while instructing on dharma, cites an example from earlier times: certain Dānavas, despite having alternative ways to live, would not let Brāhmaṇas retain ancestral land-grants and would forcibly take back those donations, illustrating the social harm caused by unbelief and adharma.
