The poor, the helpless, the good, the worthy and the Brâhmaṇas should all be duly honoured The offerings of the tulâdâna, should not be allowed to lie in the house even for some time One who does so is visited by fear, privation and pestilence By readily distributing it among others one gets blessings from superiors—73 74
