Mahabharata — Svargarohana Parva, Shloka 16
यद् यद् गृहे वरं किंचिद् यद् यदस्ति महद् वसु । तत् तद् देयं द्विजातिभ्य आत्मा दाराश्न सूनव:
yad yad gṛhe varaṃ kiñcid yad yad asti mahad vasu | tat tad deyaṃ dvijātibhya ātmā dārāś ca sūnavaḥ ||
毗舍波耶那说道：“家中凡有何等上妙之物，凡有何等巨富之财——皆当一一施与二生者（dvija）。诚然，乃至自身、妻与诸子，亦当奉献（以彻底舍离与布施之心）。”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches radical generosity and detachment: whatever is best in one’s household and whatever wealth one has should be given in charity—especially to the dvijātis—cultivating renunciation and merit rather than clinging to possessions and familial identity.
In Svargārohaṇa, as the narrative moves toward its concluding moral reckoning, Vaiśampāyana reports an instruction emphasizing dāna and tyāga: the ideal response at life’s end (or in a dharmic culmination) is to relinquish household goods and wealth through gifting, expressing final non-attachment.
