जनक–सुलभा संवादः
Janaka–Sulabhā Dialogue on Mokṣa and Non-attachment
विविक्तशीलाय विधिप्रियाय विवादहीनाय बहुश्रुताय । विजानते चैव न चाहिततक्षमे दमे च शक्ताय शमे च देयम्
viviktaśīlāya vidhipriyāya vivādahīnāya bahuśrutāya | vijānate caiva na cāhitakṣame dame ca śaktāya śame ca deyam ||
瓦西什塔说道：“此赠与（此教法）当授予行止清寂而自律者，喜爱正当仪轨者，远离争辩者，博闻多学者——授予真正了知者，不容不正之事者，并且能行自制与内在寂静者。”
वसिष्ठ उवाच
Educational Q&A
Charity is ethically meaningful when directed to a worthy recipient—someone disciplined, non-contentious, learned, discerning, intolerant of wrongdoing, and established in self-control (dama) and mental tranquility (śama).
Vasiṣṭha is instructing on dharma in the Śānti Parva, specifying the qualities of a proper recipient of gifts, thereby guiding how dāna should be practiced with discernment rather than indiscriminately.
