अदेशकाले यद्दानं अपात्रेभ्यश्च दीयते। असत्कृतमवज्ञातं तत्तामसमुदाहृतम् ॥२२॥

adeśakāle yaddānaṃ apātrebhyaśca dīyate। asatkṛtamavajñātaṃ tattāmasamudāhṛtam ॥22॥

[अदेशकाले (adeśakāle) - at improper place and time; यत् (yat) - which; दानम् (dānam) - charity; अपात्रेभ्यः (apātrebhyaḥ) - to unworthy persons; च (ca) - and; दीयते (dīyate) - is given; असत्कृतम् (asatkṛtam) - without respect; अवज्ञातम् (avajñātam) - with contempt; तत् (tat) - that; तामसम् (tāmasam) - in the mode of ignorance; उदाहृतम् (udāhṛtam) - is declared;]

Charity given at the wrong place and time, to undeserving people, without respect or with disdain, is considered to be in the mode of ignorance.

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
