विधिद्रव्यदातृपात्रविशेषात्तद्विशेषः॥
(Ch. 7 - 39)
[विधिद्रव्यदातृपात्रविशेषात्] विधि, द्रव्य, दातृ और पात्र की विशेषता से [तद्विशेषः] दान में विशेषता होती है।
The distinction with regard to the effect of a gift consists in the manner, the thing given, the nature of the giver, and the nature of therecipient.
Giving of a gift (dāna) to an ascetic Acharya Pujyapada's Sarvārthasiddhi:
He, who moves from place to place without transgressing his self-control is called a guest (atithi). Or he, who comes on any day without any regularity or definiteness, is a guest. Four
A digambara saint is completely naked, like a child at birth. He is considered to be the most propitious recipient of charity.
