अदेशकाले यद्दानमपात्रेभ्यश्च दीयते।
असत्कृतमवज्ञातं तत्तामसमुदाहृतम्‌॥

The foolish mortals resort to methods of charity which are directed to the wrong recipients at the wrong time and place and are given without reverence and sincerity. (17.22)

जो दान बिना सत्कार के अथवा तिरस्कारपूर्वक अयोग्य देश-काल में और कुपात्र के प्रति दिया जाता है, वह दान तामस कहा गया है
॥22॥

THE MAHATMA

David Redpath's avatarDavid Redpath

Blessed are the peacemakers …

all through history the way of truth
and love have always won. There

and for a time, they can seem
invincible, but in the end, they

~ Mahatma Gandhi

GITA WISDOM #49

यत्तु प्रत्युपकारार्थं फलमुद्दिश्य वा पुनः।
दीयते च परिक्लिष्टं तद्दानं राजसं स्मृतम्‌॥

With expectations of return and ulterior motives, charity is practised by the demonic kind of people with mental agony. (17.21)

किन्तु जो दान क्लेशपूर्वक (जैसे प्रायः वर्तमान समय के चन्दे-चिट्ठे आदि में धन दिया जाता है।) तथा प्रत्युपकार के प्रयोजन से अथवा फल को दृष्टि में (अर्थात्‌ मान बड़ाई, प्रतिष्ठा और स्वर्गादि की प्राप्ति के लिए अथवा रोगादि की निवृत्ति के लिए।) रखकर फिर दिया जाता है, वह दान राजस कहा गया है ॥21॥

With expectations of return and ulterior motives, charity is practised by the demonic kind of people with mental agony. (17.21)
