No gift should be made to a Brahmana who has no knowledge of the Vedas Gifts should be made to him only who is well read in the Vedas. An improper gift and an improper acceptance beget bad consequences to both the giver and the acceptor.
न श्रोत्रियमृते दानं ब्राह्मणे ब्रह्मवर्जिते॥ असम्यक् चैव यद् दत्तमसम्यक् च प्रतिग्रहः। उभयं स्यादनाय दातुरादातुरेव च॥
