All of you will attain prosperity, according to your fate. You should satisfy those who would come to you with adequate sum of money to enjoy your company, even if they be poor. But you should not give pleasure to proud men. You should give away cow, land, grain and gold, according to your means, in charity on the sacred day of worshipping the Devas or the ancestors. You should act as the Brahmaṇas will say. In addition to this, I shall also tell you an ordinance (or vrata), which all of you should blindly practise.’—29-32. > — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam - [Previous: 70.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.70.29) - [Next: 70.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.70.31) - [Up: 70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.70) ## Translations (2) - [The Matsya Puranam](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-taluqdar.70.p9) — A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya~en-mt.70.30) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Padmapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.padma.1.23.106) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.70.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.matsya.70.30) · Pramāṇa
