भावार्थ:

जो दान बिना सत्कार के अथवा तिरस्कारपूर्वक अयोग्य देश-काल में और कुपात्र के प्रति दिया जाता है, वह दान तामस कहा गया है ॥22॥

Translation

And that charity, which is given at the wrong place and wrong time to unworthy persons, without showing respect, or with contempt, is held to be of the nature of nescience.
