Bṛhaspatismṛti · Chapter 1.11

ṛṇādānaṃ prayogādi dāpanāntaṃ prakīrtitam /
nikṣepasyādhunā samyag vidhānaṃ śrūyatām iti //

anākhyātaṃ vyavahitam asaṃkhyātam adarśitam /
mudrāṅkitaṃ ca yad dattaṃ tadopanidhikaṃ smṛtam //

rājacaurārātibhayād dāyādānāṃ ca vañcanāt /
sthāpyate 'nyagṛhe dravyaṃ nyāsas tat parikīrtitam //

sthānaṃ gṛhaṃ sthalaṃ caiva tad ṛṇaṃ vividhān guṇān /
satyaṃ śaucaṃ bandhujanaṃ parīkṣya sthāpayen nidhim //

sa punar dvividhaḥ proktaḥ sākṣimānitaras tathā /
pratidānaṃ tathaivāsya pratyayaḥ syād viparyaye //

samākṣikaṃ rahodattaṃ dvividhaṃ tad udāhṛtam /
putravat paripālyaṃ tu vinaśyaty anavekṣayā //

dadato yad bhavet puṇyaṃ hemakupyāmbarādikam /
tat syāt pālayato nyāsaṃ tathā ca śaraṇāgatam //

bhartur drohe yathā nāryāḥ puṃsaḥ putrasuhṛdvadhe /
doṣo bhavet tathā nyāse bhakṣitopekṣite nṛṇām //

nyāsadravyaṃ na gṛhṇīyāt tannāśas tv ayaśaḥkaraḥ /
gṛhītaṃ pālayed yatnāt sakṛdyācitam arpayet //

sthāpitaṃ yena vidhinā yena yac ca vibhāvitam /
tathaiva tasya dātavyam adeyaṃ pratyanantaram //

devarājopaghātena yadi tan nāśam āpnuyāt /
grahītṛdravyasahitaṃ tatra doṣo na vidyate //

bhedenopekṣayā nyāsaṃ grahītā yadi nāśayet /
yācyamāno na dadyād vā dāpyas tat sodayaṃ bhavet //

nyāsadravyeṇa yaḥ kaścit sādhayet kāryam ātmanaḥ /
daṇḍyaḥ sa rājño bhavati dāpyas tac cāpi sodayam //

gṛhītvāpahnute yaś ca sākṣibhiḥ śapathena vā /
vibhāvya dāpayen nyāsaṃ tat samaṃ vinayaṃ tathā //

raho datte nidhau yatra visaṃvādaḥ prajāyate /
vibhāvakaṃ tatra divyam ubhayor api ca smṛtam //

mitho dāyaḥ kṛto yena gṛhīto mitha eva vā /
mitha eva pradātavyo yathā dāyas tathā grahaḥ //

samudre nāpnuyāt kiṃcid yadi tasmān na saṃharet //

anvāhite yācitake śilpinyāse sabandhake /
eṣa evodito dharmas tathā ca śaraṇāgate //

yas tu saṃskriyate nyāso divasaiḥ pariniṣṭhitaiḥ /
tad ūrdhva sthāpayañ śilpī dāpyo daivahato 'pi tat //

yācitaṃ svāmyanujñātaṃ pradadan nāparādhnuyāt //
