    तृतीयः पाठः - ३ धन्यौ तौ दातृयाचकौ

    Today we are going to learn a very interesting topic धन्यौ तौ दातृयाचकौ. In Indian culture charity
    occupies a very important place. However charity should always be done by the right person
    to help the right person; only in that case it can be considered as a genuine act of charity
    otherwise it will be just hypocrisy. We know that many people do charity for the sake of
    publicity and not with a genuine desire. Hence donor and donee must be good, that is why
    the name of the chapter is धन्यौ तौ दातृयाचकौ- दातृ means donor and याचकः means the donee, the
    person who receives or who is asking for the donation, since both of them are noble they are
    great (धन्यौ).

    This chapter is taken from the great saga known as Raghuvamsham written by the great
    Sanskrit poet Kalidas. This chapter is the 5th episode of Raghuvasmsham which mentions an
    incident happened in the life of King Raghu. King Raghu performed the Vishvajit sacrifice in
    which he donated his entire treasury. Once a student named Kautsa came to Raghu for
    wealth that he wanted to give to his teacher Varatantu. Raghu fulfilled the desire of Kautsa in
    a special way which is described in this chapter.
    Once upon a time in a sacred grove (Tapovan, forest where sages meditate) there was a sage
    named Varatantu. He was an expert teacher and by behaviour he was a kind soul. In his
    ashram many intelligent students studied. One among them was Kautsa. After completing
    his studies Kautsa was excited to give Guru Dakshina to his teacher and so he approached
    Varatantu. With humility he expressed his wish. Listening to his desire, Varatantu
    replied,”My child Kautsa! I am very much satisfied by your studies and service I don’t desire
    any other Guru Dakshina. Hence my child you may go, my blessings with you always.”
    Even though the Guru politely turned down his request, Kautsa repeatedly pressed his desire
    to give Guru Dakshina.

    Thus in order to test him Varatantu replied, “You learnt 14 subjects from me and so in return
    pay me with 14 crore gold coins”. Listening to this Kautsa became extremely tensed. “How
    can I get 14 crore gold coins?” thought Kautsa. “Apart from king Raghu who is capable of
    giving me such a huge sum. Thus I must approach King Raghu.” Having made up his mind
    he went to meet king Raghu
