युधिष्ठिर उवाच ।
किमाहुर्भरतश्रेष्ठ पात्रं विप्राः सनातनम् ।
ब्राह्मणं लिङ्गिनं चैव ब्राह्मणं वाप्यलिङ्गिनम् ॥१॥

1. yudhiṣṭhiraḥ uvāca kim āhuḥ bharataśreṣṭha pātram viprāḥ
sanātanam brāhmaṇam liṅginam ca eva brāhmaṇam vā api aliṅginam
1. Yudhiṣṭhira said, "O best among Bharatas, whom do the wise (viprāḥ) consider to be the eternal worthy recipient for gifts? Is it a Brahmin (brāhmaṇam) bearing the distinguishing marks of an ascetic (liṅginam), or indeed a Brahmin without such marks?"
भीष्म उवाच ।
स्ववृत्तिमभिपन्नाय लिङ्गिने वेतराय वा ।
देयमाहुर्महाराज उभावेतौ तपस्विनौ ॥२॥

deyamāhurmahārāja ubhāvetau tapasvinau.
2. bhīṣmaḥ uvāca svavṛttim abhipannāya liṅgine vā
itarāya vā deyam āhuḥ mahārāja ubhau etau tapasvinau
2. Bhīṣma said, "O great king, they declare that a gift (dāna) should be given to one who duly maintains their proper occupation, whether to a Brahmin with the marks of an ascetic (liṅgin) or to the other type of Brahmin. Both of these are indeed performers of penance (tapasvinau)."
युधिष्ठिर उवाच ।
श्रद्धया परया पूतो यः प्रयच्छेद्द्विजातये ।
हव्यं कव्यं तथा दानं को दोषः स्यात्पितामह ॥३॥

havyaṁ kavyaṁ tathā dānaṁ ko doṣaḥ syātpitāmaha.
3. yudhiṣṭhiraḥ uvāca śraddhayā parayā pūtaḥ yaḥ prayacchet
dvijātaye havyam kavyam tathā dānam kaḥ doṣaḥ syāt pitāmaha
3. Yudhiṣṭhira said, "O Grandfather, what flaw could there be if someone, purified by supreme faith (śraddhā), offers either an oblation for the gods (havya), an oblation for the ancestors (kavya), or indeed any other gift (dāna) to a twice-born (dvijāti)?"
भीष्म उवाच ।
श्रद्धापूतो नरस्तात दुर्दान्तोऽपि न संशयः ।
पूतो भवति सर्वत्र किं पुनस्त्वं महीपते ॥४॥
4. bhīṣma uvāca ,
śraddhāpūto narastāta durdānto'pi na saṁśayaḥ ,
pūto bhavati sarvatra kiṁ punastvaṁ mahīpate.
4. bhīṣmaḥ uvāca śraddhāpūtaḥ naraḥ tāta durdāntaḥ api na
saṃśayaḥ pūtaḥ bhavati sarvatra kim punaḥ tvam mahīpate
4. Bhīṣma said, "O dear son, a person purified by faith (śraddhā) becomes pure in all circumstances, even if they are difficult to control (durdāntaḥ) – there is no doubt about this. What then, O King, can be said of you?"
युधिष्ठिर उवाच ।
न ब्राह्मणं परीक्षेत दैवेषु सततं नरः ।
कव्यप्रदाने तु बुधाः परीक्ष्यं ब्राह्मणं विदुः ॥५॥
5. yudhiṣṭhira uvāca ,
na brāhmaṇaṁ parīkṣeta daiveṣu satataṁ naraḥ ,
kavyapradāne tu budhāḥ parīkṣyaṁ brāhmaṇaṁ viduḥ.
5. Yudhiṣṭhira uvāca na brāhmaṇam parīkṣeta daiveṣu satatam
naraḥ kavya-pradāne tu budhāḥ parīkṣyam brāhmaṇam viduḥ
5. Yudhiṣṭhira uvāca naraḥ daiveṣu brāhmaṇam satatam na
parīkṣeta tu kavya-pradāne budhāḥ brāhmaṇam parīkṣyam viduḥ
5. Yudhiṣṭhira said: A person should not constantly examine a brahmin for rituals dedicated to the gods. However, the wise know that a brahmin should be examined when offerings are made to ancestors.
भीष्म उवाच ।
न ब्राह्मणः साधयते हव्यं दैवात्प्रसिध्यति ।
देवप्रसादादिज्यन्ते यजमाना न संशयः ॥६॥
6. bhīṣma uvāca ,
na brāhmaṇaḥ sādhayate havyaṁ daivātprasidhyati ,
devaprasādādijyante yajamānā na saṁśayaḥ.
6. Bhīṣma uvāca na brāhmaṇaḥ sādhayate havyam daivāt
prasidhyati deva-prasādāt ijyante yajamānā na saṃśayaḥ
6. Bhīṣma uvāca brāhmaṇaḥ havyam na sādhayate daivāt
prasidhyati deva-prasādāt yajamānā ijyante na saṃśayaḥ
6. Bhīṣma said: A brahmin does not bring about the success of the oblation; it is accomplished by divine power (daiva). Through the grace of the gods, the patrons (yajamāna) have their Vedic rituals performed, of this there is no doubt.
ब्राह्मणा भरतश्रेष्ठ सततं ब्रह्मवादिनः ।
मार्कण्डेयः पुरा प्राह इह लोकेषु बुद्धिमान् ॥७॥
7. brāhmaṇā bharataśreṣṭha satataṁ brahmavādinaḥ ,
mārkaṇḍeyaḥ purā prāha iha lokeṣu buddhimān.
7. brāhmaṇā bharata-śreṣṭha satatam brahma-vādinaḥ
Mārkaṇḍeyaḥ purā prāha iha lokeṣu buddhimān
7. bharata-śreṣṭha brāhmaṇāḥ satatam brahma-vādinaḥ
buddhimān Mārkaṇḍeyaḥ purā iha lokeṣu prāha
7. O foremost of the Bharatas, brahmins are constantly those who speak of the ultimate reality (brahman). The wise Mārkaṇḍeya spoke this long ago in these worlds.
युधिष्ठिर उवाच ।
अपूर्वोऽप्यथ वा विद्वान्संबन्धी वाथ यो भवेत् ।

8. yudhiṣṭhira uvāca ,
apūrvo'pyatha vā vidvānsaṁbandhī vātha yo bhavet ,
tapasvī yajñaśīlo vā kathaṁ pātraṁ bhavettu saḥ.
8. Yudhiṣṭhira uvāca apūrvaḥ api

yaḥ bhavet tapasvī yajña-śīlaḥ
vā katham pātram bhavet tu saḥ
8. Yudhiṣṭhira uvāca yaḥ apūrvaḥ api atha vā vidvān vā atha sambandhī vā tapasvī vā yajña-śīlaḥ bhavet,
saḥ tu katham pātram bhavet?
8. Yudhiṣṭhira said: How indeed can a person be considered a worthy recipient (pātra), whether he is a newcomer, or learned, or a relative, or an ascetic (tapasvin), or habitually performs Vedic rituals (yajña)?
भीष्म उवाच ।

9. bhīṣmaḥ uvāca kulīnaḥ karmakṛt vaidyaḥ tathā ca api
ānṛśaṃsyavān hrīmān ṛjuḥ satyavādī pātram pūrve ca te trayaḥ
9. Bhīṣma said: "A person of noble lineage, one who is diligent in action and learned, and one who is compassionate, modest, straightforward, and truthful - these three aforementioned types are worthy recipients."
तत्रेदं शृणु मे पार्थ चतुर्णां तेजसां मतम् ।
पृथिव्याः काश्यपस्याग्नेर्मार्कण्डेयस्य चैव हि ॥१०॥
10. tatredaṁ śṛṇu me pārtha caturṇāṁ tejasāṁ matam ,
pṛthivyāḥ kāśyapasyāgnermārkaṇḍeyasya caiva hi.
10. tatra idam śṛṇu me pārtha caturṇām tejasām matam
pṛthivyāḥ kāśyapasya agneḥ mārkaṇḍeyasya ca eva hi
10. There, listen from me, O Pārtha, to the opinion of the four great beings: Earth, Kaśyapa, Agni, and indeed Mārkaṇḍeya.
पृथिव्युवाच ।
यथा महार्णवे क्षिप्तः क्षिप्रं लोष्टो विनश्यति ।
तथा दुश्चरितं सर्वं त्रय्यावृत्त्या विनश्यति ॥११॥

yathā mahārṇave kṣiptaḥ kṣipraṁ loṣṭo vinaśyati ,
tathā duścaritaṁ sarvaṁ trayyāvṛttyā vinaśyati.
11. pṛthivī uvāca yathā mahā arṇave kṣiptaḥ kṣipram loṣṭaḥ
vinaśyati tathā duścaritam sarvam trayyā āvṛttyā vinaśyati
11. Earth said: "Just as a lump of clay, thrown into the great ocean, quickly perishes, so too does all evil conduct perish through the performance of Vedic rituals (yajña) based on the three Vedas."
काश्यप उवाच ।
सर्वे च वेदाः सह षड्भिरङ्गैः सांख्यं पुराणं च कुले च जन्म ।
नैतानि सर्वाणि गतिर्भवन्ति शीलव्यपेतस्य नरस्य राजन् ॥१२॥
12. kāśyapa uvāca ,
sarve ca vedāḥ saha ṣaḍbhiraṅgaiḥ; sāṁkhyaṁ purāṇaṁ ca kule ca janma ,
naitāni sarvāṇi gatirbhavanti; śīlavyapetasya narasya rājan.
12. kāśyapaḥ uvāca sarve ca vedāḥ saha
ṣaḍbhiḥ aṅgaiḥ sāṅkhyam purāṇam ca kule
ca janma na etāni sarvāṇi gatiḥ
bhavanti śīlavyapetasya narasya rājan
12. Kaśyapa said: "O King, all the Vedas along with their six auxiliary branches, Sāṅkhya philosophy, and the Purāṇas, and even birth in a good lineage - none of these become a path to a good destiny (gati) for a person devoid of moral character."
अग्निरुवाच ।
अधीयानः पण्डितं मन्यमानो यो विद्यया हन्ति यशः परेषाम् ।
ब्रह्मन्स तेनाचरते ब्रह्महत्यां लोकास्तस्य ह्यन्तवन्तो भवन्ति ॥१३॥
13. agniruvāca ,
adhīyānaḥ paṇḍitaṁ manyamāno; yo vidyayā hanti yaśaḥ pareṣām ,
brahmansa tenācarate brahmahatyāṁ; lokāstasya hyantavanto bhavanti.

paṇḍitam manyamānaḥ vidyayā pareṣām
yaśaḥ hanti saḥ tena brahmahatyām ācarate
hi tasya lokāḥ antavantaḥ bhavanti
13. Agni said: 'O brahmin, a person who, though studying and considering himself learned, harms the reputation of others through his knowledge, indeed commits the sin of killing a brahmin (brahmahatyā). His realms (lokas) will certainly come to an end.'
मार्कण्डेय उवाच ।
अश्वमेधसहस्रं च सत्यं च तुलया धृतम् ।
नाभिजानामि यद्यस्य सत्यस्यार्धमवाप्नुयात् ॥१४॥
14. mārkaṇḍeya uvāca ,

nābhijānāmi yadyasya satyasyārdhamavāpnuyāt.
14. mārkaṇḍeyaḥ uvāca aśvamedhasahasram ca satyam ca tulayā

satyasya ardham (tat) na avāpnuyāt
(aham) abhijānāmi (na abhijānāmi)
14. Mārkaṇḍeya said: 'A thousand horse-Vedic rituals (aśvamedha) and truth were weighed on a balance. I do not know if (the former) would attain even half of that truth.'

kāśyapaḥ agniḥ ca prakṛṣṭāyuḥ ca bhārgavaḥ āśu jagmuḥ
15. Bhīṣma said: 'Having spoken thus, those four of immense splendor - Pṛthivī, Kaśyapa, Agni, and Prakṛṣṭāyu, the Bhārgava - quickly departed.'

16. Yudhiṣṭhira said: 'How can that offering (havis), which brahmins observing vows consume in this world for their own gratification, be considered a virtuous deed (sukṛta)?'

न च ब्राह्मणमाक्रोशेत्समं तद्ब्रह्महत्यया ॥३१॥
31. nāgniṁ parityajejjātu na ca vedānparityajet ,

31. na agnim parityajet jātu na ca vedān parityajet
na ca brāhmaṇam ākrośet samam tat brahmahatyayā
31. na jātu agnim parityajet na ca vedān parityajet
na ca brāhmaṇam ākrośet tat brahmahatyayā samam
31. One should never abandon the sacred fire, nor should one abandon the Vedas. And one should not insult a brahmin. These actions are equivalent to the killing of a brahmin (brahmahatyā).
युधिष्ठिर उवाच ।
कीदृशाः साधवो विप्राः केभ्यो दत्तं महाफलम् ।
कीदृशानां च भोक्तव्यं तन्मे ब्रूहि पितामह ॥३२॥
32. yudhiṣṭhira uvāca ,

kīdṛśānāṁ ca bhoktavyaṁ tanme brūhi pitāmaha.
32. yudhiṣṭhiraḥ uvāca kīdṛśāḥ sādhavaḥ viprāḥ kebhyaḥ dattam

32. yudhiṣṭhiraḥ uvāca he pitāmaha me tat brūhi kīdṛśāḥ sādhavaḥ
viprāḥ kebhyaḥ dattam mahāphalam ca kīdṛśānām bhoktavyam
32. Yudhiṣṭhira said: O Grandfather, tell me: what kind of virtuous brahmins (vipra) are there? To whom, when a gift (dāna) is given, is the fruit great? And whose food should be eaten?
भीष्म उवाच ।
अक्रोधना धर्मपराः सत्यनित्या दमे रताः ।
तादृशाः साधवो विप्रास्तेभ्यो दत्तं महाफलम् ॥३३॥
33. bhīṣma uvāca ,
akrodhanā dharmaparāḥ satyanityā dame ratāḥ ,
tādṛśāḥ sādhavo viprāstebhyo dattaṁ mahāphalam.
33. bhīṣmaḥ uvāca akrodhanāḥ dharmaparāḥ satyanityāḥ dame
ratāḥ tādṛśāḥ sādhavaḥ viprāḥ tebhyaḥ dattam mahāphalam
33. Bhīṣma said: Those who are free from anger, devoted to natural law (dharma), constantly truthful, and delight in self-control - such virtuous brahmins are considered worthy. A great reward accrues from giving to them.
अमानिनः सर्वसहा दृष्टार्था विजितेन्द्रियाः ।
सर्वभूतहिता मैत्रास्तेभ्यो दत्तं महाफलम् ॥३४॥
34. amāninaḥ sarvasahā dṛṣṭārthā vijitendriyāḥ ,
sarvabhūtahitā maitrāstebhyo dattaṁ mahāphalam.
34. amāninaḥ sarvasahāḥ dṛṣṭārthāḥ vijitendriyāḥ
sarvabhūtahitāḥ maitrāḥ tebhyaḥ dattam mahāphalam
34. Those who are free from pride, patient, have understood the true meaning (of things), have conquered their senses, are benevolent to all beings, and are friendly - a great reward accrues from giving to them.
अलुब्धाः शुचयो वैद्या ह्रीमन्तः सत्यवादिनः ।
स्वकर्मनिरता ये च तेभ्यो दत्तं महाफलम् ॥३५॥
35. alubdhāḥ śucayo vaidyā hrīmantaḥ satyavādinaḥ ,
svakarmaniratā ye ca tebhyo dattaṁ mahāphalam.
35. alubdhāḥ śucayaḥ vaidyāḥ hrīmantaḥ satyavādinaḥ
svakarmaniratāḥ ye ca tebhyaḥ dattam mahāphalam
35. And those who are not greedy, pure, learned, modest, truthful speakers, and diligent in their own duties - a great reward accrues from giving to them.
साङ्गांश्च चतुरो वेदान्योऽधीयीत द्विजर्षभः ।
षड्भ्यो निवृत्तः कर्मभ्यस्तं पात्रमृषयो विदुः ॥३६॥
36. sāṅgāṁśca caturo vedānyo'dhīyīta dvijarṣabhaḥ ,
ṣaḍbhyo nivṛttaḥ karmabhyastaṁ pātramṛṣayo viduḥ.
36. sāṅgān ca caturaḥ vedān yaḥ adhīyīta dvijarṣabhaḥ
ṣaḍbhyaḥ nivṛttaḥ karmabhyaḥ tam pātram ṛṣayaḥ viduḥ
36. And that best of brahmins who studies the four Vedas along with their auxiliary branches, and who has turned away from (attachment to) the six traditional brahminical duties - him, the sages know to be a worthy recipient.
ये त्वेवंगुणजातीयास्तेभ्यो दत्तं महाफलम् ।
सहस्रगुणमाप्नोति गुणार्हाय प्रदायकः ॥३७॥
37. ye tvevaṁguṇajātīyāstebhyo dattaṁ mahāphalam ,
sahasraguṇamāpnoti guṇārhāya pradāyakaḥ.
37. ye tu evaṃguṇajātīyāḥ tebhyaḥ dattam mahāphalam
sahasraguṇam āpnoti guṇārhāya pradāyakaḥ
37. tu ye evaṃguṇajātīyāḥ tebhyaḥ dattam mahāphalam;
pradāyakaḥ guṇārhāya sahasraguṇam āpnoti
37. However, a gift (dāna) given to those who possess such qualities yields a great reward. A donor who gives to a person worthy of virtue obtains a thousandfold benefit.
प्रज्ञाश्रुताभ्यां वृत्तेन शीलेन च समन्वितः ।
तारयेत कुलं कृत्स्नमेकोऽपीह द्विजर्षभः ॥३८॥
38. prajñāśrutābhyāṁ vṛttena śīlena ca samanvitaḥ ,
tārayeta kulaṁ kṛtsnameko'pīha dvijarṣabhaḥ.
38. prajñāśrutābhyām vṛttena śīlena ca samanvitaḥ
tārayeta kulam kṛtsnam ekaḥ api iha dvijarṣabhaḥ
38. iha ekaḥ api prajñāśrutābhyām vṛttena ca śīlena
samanvitaḥ dvijarṣabhaḥ kṛtsnam kulam tārayeta
38. Endowed with wisdom (prajñā), extensive knowledge, good conduct, and moral character, even one excellent brāhmaṇa (dvijarṣabha) here can redeem his entire family.
गामश्वं वित्तमन्नं वा तद्विधे प्रतिपादयेत् ।
द्रव्याणि चान्यानि तथा प्रेत्यभावे न शोचति ॥३९॥
39. gāmaśvaṁ vittamannaṁ vā tadvidhe pratipādayet ,
dravyāṇi cānyāni tathā pretyabhāve na śocati.
39. gām aśvam vittam annam vā tadvidhe pratipādayet
dravyāṇi ca anyāni tathā pretyabhāve na śocati
39. gām aśvam vittam annam vā anyāni ca dravyāṇi
tadvidhe pratipādayet tathā pretyabhāve na śocati
39. One should donate a cow, a horse, wealth, food, or other valuables to such a deserving person. In doing so, one will not grieve in the state after death (pretyabhāve).
तारयेत कुलं कृत्स्नमेकोऽपीह द्विजोत्तमः ।
किमङ्ग पुनरेकं वै तस्मात्पात्रं समाचरेत् ॥४०॥
40. tārayeta kulaṁ kṛtsnameko'pīha dvijottamaḥ ,
kimaṅga punarekaṁ vai tasmātpātraṁ samācaret.
40. tārayeta kulam kṛtsnam ekaḥ api iha dvijottamaḥ
kim aṅga punaḥ ekam vai tasmāt pātram samācaret
40. iha ekaḥ api dvijottamaḥ kṛtsnam kulam tārayeta
kim aṅga punaḥ ekam vai tasmāt pātram samācaret
40. Even one most excellent brāhmaṇa (dvijottama) here can redeem the entire family. What more needs to be said about multiple such individuals? Therefore, one should seek out a worthy recipient (pātra).
निशम्य च गुणोपेतं ब्राह्मणं साधुसंमतम् ।
दूरादानाययेत्कृत्ये सर्वतश्चाभिपूजयेत् ॥४१॥
41. niśamya ca guṇopetaṁ brāhmaṇaṁ sādhusaṁmatam ,
dūrādānāyayetkṛtye sarvataścābhipūjayet.
41. niśamya ca guṇopetam brāhmaṇam sādhusaṃmatam
dūrāt ānāyayet kṛtye sarvataḥ ca abhipūjayet
41. ca guṇopetam sādhusaṃmatam brāhmaṇam niśamya
kṛtye dūrāt ānāyayet ca sarvataḥ abhipūjayet
41. And having learned of a brahmin who is endowed with good qualities and respected by the virtuous, one should invite him from afar for a specific ritual (kṛtya) and honor him in every possible way.
