SrI: SrImathE SatakOpAya nama: SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama: SrImath varavaramunayE nama:
dātavyam iti yad dānaṁ
dīyate ’nupakāriṇe
deśe kāle ca pātre ca
tad dānaṁ sāttvikaṁ smṛtam
‘That is considered Sātvika-gift, which thus: ‘it ought to be given,’ is given, to one unable to return; (given) in place, in time, and to recipient, meet.’
‘The gift ought to be given,’ as a duty, and not in expectation of a reward. The gift is to be given to one who can render nothing back; in due place, at due time, and to a proper recipient. Such gift is said to be Sātvikam.
