Kāryā Mokşaphalè dāno pātrāpātra vicāraṇā;
Dayādānam tu Sarvajnai-r-na kvāpi pratişidhyatd.
The question of the deserving or undeserving nature of the receiver is to be considered in ETTTET Supātra-dana, which results in Mokşa, but the Daya-dana T TT or Anukampā-dāna is no-where prohibited by the Tirthankaras.
निर्गुणेष्वपि सत्त्वेषु दयां कुर्वन्ति साधवः ।
न हि संहरति ज्योत्स्नां, चन्द्रश्चंडालवेश्मनि ॥ Nirgundşyapi sattvėsu dayām kurvanti sadhavan; Na hi samharati jyotsnám, candrascandalaveśmani.
Virtuous people show compassion even towards persons devoid of good qualities. Because, the Moon does not remove away moon-light from the house of an assassion.
N. B. The moon gives uniform light everywhere, Virtuous people show compassion alike towards virtuous individuals, as well as, towards those who are devoid of any good qualities,
अपकारेऽपि कारुण्यं सुधीः कुर्याद्विशेषतः ।
दन्दशकं दशन्तं श्रीवीर प्रबोधयद्यथा ॥ Apakaré'pi karunyam sudhih kuryadviseşatah;
Dandagūkam daśantam Śrt Viraḥ prabhodhayadyathā.
Wise men should especiolly show compassion even towards ungrateful persons. Just as, Bhagavān Sri Mahāvīra instruots the serpent-Caņda-kausika rustfara-biting him.
Astikya आस्तिक्य. प्रभुमिर्भाषितं यत्सत्वान्तरश्नुतेऽपि हि ।
निःशंकं मन्यते सत्यं तदास्तिक्यं सुलक्षणम् ॥ It is said in the Agama OTTH Scriptures.
थयथुइमंगलेणं भंते ! किं जणइ ? गोयमा ! नाणदतणचरित्तबोहिलाभ Hors. I
Thaya thui mangaldņam bhantè 1 kim jaņai ? Goyamā ! Nāņa damsanacaritta bohilābbaṁ janai.
