शुद्धप्रतिग्रहे देयश्चतुर्थांशो द्विजोत्तमैः । अकस्मादुत्थितेऽर्थे हि देयमर्धं द्विजोत्तमैः ७६ ।
Excellent brahmins, accepting monetary gifts from decent people, shall give away a fourth of that wealth in charity. They shall likewise give away half in charity in case of an unexpected windfall.
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.
पृष्टं सर्वं सदा देयमात्मशक्त्यनुसारतः ७८ब्। जन्मांतरे ऋणी हि स्याददत्ते पृष्टवस्तुनि ७८ ।
A man must give others what they beg of him according to his ability. If a thing requested for is not given he will be indebted to that extent even in his next birth.
न वदेत्सर्वजंतूनां हृदि रोषकरं बुधः । संध्ययोरग्निकार्यं च कुर्यादैश्वर्यसिद्धये 1.13.८० ।
An intelligent man shall not speak words wounding the hearts of others. For achieving prosperity he shall perform sacred rites in the fire at dawn and at dusk.
