Yudhishthira said: It is for religious purposes that one gives away to the Brahmanas. It is for renown, to the Natas and the dancers. It is for their support, to the servants. And it is to be saved from fear, to the kings.
युधिष्ठिर उवाच धर्मार्थं ब्राह्मणे दानं यशोऽर्थं नटनर्तके। भृत्येषु भरणार्थं वै भयार्थं चैव राजसु॥
