## The Aryas in the Bhoga-bhoomi
**Somasen Bhattaraka** has written that the Aryas are those who are born in the Bhoga-bhoomi after giving **daan** (donation). These Aryas, in the first week, sleep with their faces upwards and suck their thumbs. In the second week, they crawl on their bellies and slowly start walking on their knees. In the third week, they start speaking sweet words and walk unsteadily. In the fourth week, they walk steadily with firm steps. In the fifth week, they become adorned with arts like singing and playing music, and with qualities like beauty. In the sixth week, they become young and capable of enjoying their desired pleasures. In the seventh week, they become eligible to receive **Samyak Darshan** (right faith). The author expresses surprise with the words, "Look at the greatness of **daan** that makes these people, born in the Bhoga-bhoomi, eligible in such a short time!" || 119 ||
**Types of Daan**
**Ahaar Shastra Bhaishajya Abhay Daanani Sarvatah |
Chaturvidhani Deyani Munibhyas Tattva Vedibhih || 120 ||**
Those who know the true nature of things should give four types of **daan** to the **munis** (ascetics): **Ahaar Daan** (food donation), **Shastra Daan** (knowledge donation), **Bhaishajya Daan** (medicine donation), and **Abhay Daan** (protection donation). || 120 ||
**Fruits of Each Daan**
**Gyaanavan Gyaan Daanena Nirbhay Abhay Daanatah |
Anna Daanat Sukhi Nityam Nirvyaadhi Bhaishajad Bhavet || 121 ||**
By giving **Shastra Daan**, one becomes knowledgeable. By giving **Abhay Daan**, one becomes fearless. By giving **Ahaar Daan**, one becomes happy. By giving **Bhaishajya Daan**, one becomes free from diseases. || 121 ||
**Uttar Purana** says:
**Shastra Abhyanna Daanani Proktani Jin Sattamaih |
Purva Purva Bahu Patta Phalani Imani Dhimatam || 122 ||**
The **Jinas** (victorious ones) have said that **Shastra Daan**, **Abhay Daan**, and **Anna Daan** are the three types of **daan**. Among these, **Ahaar Daan** yields more fruit than **Abhay Daan**, and **Abhay Daan** yields more fruit than **Shastra Daan**. || 122 ||
**Types of Daan for the Poor**
**Kanya Hasti Suvarna Vajika Pila Daasi Tila: Syandanam |
Kshma Geham Pratibandham Atra Dashadha Daan Daridrepsitam ||**
**Kanya Daan** (daughter donation), **Hasti Daan** (elephant donation), **Suvarna Daan** (gold donation), **Vajika Daan** (horse donation), **Pila Daan** (cow donation), **Daasi Daan** (female servant donation), **Tila Daan** (sesame seed donation), **Syandan Daan** (chariot donation), **Kshma Daan** (land donation), and **Geham Daan** (house donation) are the ten types of **daan** that are desirable for the poor.
