## Harivansh Purana
**Verse 104:**
All beings are in the middle path, neither friends nor enemies. Due to their inherently low passions, they all attain the divine realm upon the exhaustion of their lifespan.
**Verse 105:**
A man's death is peaceful with a sneeze, and a woman's with a yawn, when their love for each other is bound by birth.
**Verse 106:**
Then, the Lord of the Ganas, knowing the mind of Shrenik, spoke about the cause of birth in the realm of enjoyment.
**Verse 107:**

**Verse 108:**
Those purified by right faith, right knowledge, right conduct, and right austerity, and who are impartial towards enemies and friends, are considered the best recipients.
**Verse 109:**
Those who practice restraint and unrestraint are considered average recipients, while those with unwavering right faith and unrestraint are considered the worst.

**Verse 111:**
Just as a small seed sown properly in fertile land grows, so too does the gift of food and other things given to a worthy recipient.

**Verse 113:**
Those who have renounced gross violence, but hold false faith, false knowledge, and false conduct, are considered unworthy recipients. Those who have not renounced gross violence are considered unworthy.
**Verse 114:**
By giving to unworthy recipients, humans become animals in the realms of enjoyment, or are born in low human families and enjoy the inner islands.
**Verse 115:**
Just as a seed sown in barren land yields little fruit, so too does a gift given to an unworthy recipient bring the giver bad fortune.
**Verse 116:**
Just as rice sown in barren land perishes from the root, so too does a gift given to an unworthy recipient become fruitless.
