असत्प्रतिग्रहसर्वं दुर्दानं सागरे क्षिपेत् । आहूय दानं कर्तव्यमात्मभोगसमृद्धये ७७ ।

sanskrit

If a brahmin accepts a monetary gift from an indecent fellow he shall give away the entire amount in charity. A defiled gift shall be thrown into the sea. It is more creditable if one invites persons and makes gifts to them. One’s own enjoyment gains by it.
