v3.c43.159
We have already seen (pp. 838-39) how even in the Ṛgveda various rewards are promised to those who make gifts of cows, horses, gold or clothes. The Tai. S. I. 8. 4. 1 makes it a matter of give and take between gods and man (dhehi me dadāmi te ni me dehi ni te dadhe). The same sentiments and notions continued down to the latest ages and are re-inforced by further and very detailed promises of rewards for several kinds of gifts. Vas. Dh. S. 29. 2-27, Viṣṇu Dh. S. 91-92, Saṁvarta verses 46-93 may be read in this connection.
