Charity

Datavyam iti yad danam diyate 'nupakarine, deshe kale cha patre cha tad danam sattvikam smritam

Charity given to a worthy person simply because it is right to give, without consideration of anything in return, at the proper time and place—such charity is of the nature of goodness.

Yajna-dana-tapah-karma na tyajyam karyam eva tat, yajno danam tapash chaiva pavanani manishinam

Acts of sacrifice, charity, and austerity should not be abandoned, but should indeed be performed, for sacrifice, charity, and austerity are purifying for the wise.
