Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 17
अन्यच्च । दातव्यमिति यद्दानं दीयतेऽनुपकारिणि ।
देशे काले च पात्रे च तद् दानं सात्त्विकं विदुः ॥
And again, A gift, which is given for the sake of charity, to one who is not a benefactor (or who cannot make a return for it), and in the proper place, at the proper time and to a proper recipient is, (the sages) consider, a gift of the best sort.
