Food offered to the gods and that offered in the Pit峁泂 are to be given to the most deserving; Br膩hma峁嘺 learned in the Vedas. What is given to him is conducive to great results.鈥�(128)

 

Medh膩tithi鈥檚 commentary (尘补苍耻产丑腻峁�y补):

鈥�Learned in the Veda鈥欌�攈e who recites the entire Vedic text, Mantras as well as Br膩hma峁嘺s: to him;鈥斺�榯he food offered to the gods鈥欌��i.e., those articles of food that are offered, in connection with 艢r膩ddhas to the Visve-devas:鈥斺赌�should be given;鈥欌�攁s also 鈥�the food offered to the Pit峁泂,鈥�

鈥�Most deserving;鈥欌�斺�榙esert (deserve?)鈥� here stands for respectability and ability. It is a person born of a noble family that is respected; and a person born of a noble family is generally equipped with learning and character.

鈥�What is given to him,鈥欌�攅ven things other than the 艢谤腻诲诲丑补- 辞蹿蹿别谤颈苍驳蝉,鈥斺赌�is conducive to great results.鈥� The meaning is that鈥斺�榞ift made to the unlearned is fruitless; that made to a person learned in the Veda, but devoid of nobility and other good qualities, is conducive to some slight results; and that to the most deserving is conducive to great results.鈥欌��(128)
