Sanskrit Text

उभौ हिनस्ति भुनक्ति चैषा; या चानृचे दक्षिणा दीयते वै आघातनी गर्हितैषा पतन्ती; तेषां प्रेतान्पातयेद्देवयानात्

English Translation

As those libations of clarified butter that are poured upon the extinguished ashes of a sacrificial fire never reach either the gods or the departed Manes, similarly a gift that is inade to a dancer or a singer or a Dakshina presented to a lying or deceitful person, yields no merit.
