A sinful soul, a base man, may give charitable gifts to Brahmanas after proclaiming his intention to perform righteous deeds to the people out of hypocrisy. An uncontrolled man overwhelmed by passion and delusion may perform severe Japas and in the end may give charitable gifts for the purpose of sanctifying himslf. But these charitable gifts offered by him do not yield fruits. The charitable gifts of a wickedsouled man indulging in violence, do not stay (i.e. do not yield fruits) even if he engaged himself in holy rites. Similarly the Danas offered by one who has amassed wealth by painful violent deeds also do not fructify.
