________________
Tattvārthasūtra
giver – dātrviseșa – lies in his being free from envy and dejection. The presence of qualities which lead to salvation indicates the superiority of the recipient - pātravićeșa. As excellence in the quality of the soil, etc., enhances the quality of the seed and produces a rich harvest, similarly, excellence in the manner (vidhi), etc., of the gift enhances the quality of the charity (dāna) and produces great merit (punya).
