वृथा वृष्टिः समुद्रेषु वृथा तृप्तेषु भोजनम्। वृथा दानं समर्थस्य वृथा दीपो दिवापि च॥
vṛthā vṛṣṭiḥ samudreṣu vṛthā tṛpteṣu bhojanam। vṛthā dānaṁ samarthasya vṛthā dīpo divāpi ca॥
Rain upon the oceans is wasted, food given to those already full is wasted, a gift to one who is fully capable is wasted, and a lamp even in broad daylight is wasted. The verse teaches that the value of any act of giving lies in being offered where it is truly needed.
