अन्यायोपार्जितं द्रव्यमर्थदूषणमुच्यते ।
अपात्रदानं पात्रार्थहरणं तस्य लक्षणम् ॥
anyāyopārjitaṁ dravyam artha-dūṣaṇam ucyate |
apātra-dānaṁ pātrārtha-haraṇaṁ tasya lakṣaṇam ||
(Mahābsubhāṣita-saṅgraha: 1806)
“An object acquired unjustly is called polluted wealth. Its characteristics are giving [wealth] to an underserving person and taking away the wealth of a deserving person.”
