By making gifts the Brahmanas of whatever articles they want, one acquires such means of subsistence as he wishes, and becomes rescued from Hell and every calamity that befall sinners after death. This is the certain conclusion of the scriptures.
दत्त्वा यथोक्तं विप्रेभ्यो वृत्तिमिष्टां स विन्दति। नरकादींश्च संक्लेशान् नाप्नोतीति विनिश्चयः॥
