Yudhishthira said It is true that we should make gifts to others without afflicting any one and without going against the ordinances of scriptures. One should, however, correctly determine who the person is that should be considered as a proper object for making gifts. He should be such that the gift itself, when made over to him, may not grieve.
युधिष्ठिर उवाच अपीडया च भूतानां धर्मस्याहिंसया तथा। पात्रं विद्यात् तु तत्त्वेन यस्मै दत्तं न संतपेत्॥
