ব্রাহ্মণ-বৈষ্ণবে দিলা তার অর্ধ-ধনে ।
এক চৌঠি ধন দিলা কুটুম্ব-ভরণে ॥ ৭ ॥
brahmana-vaisnave dila tara ardha-dhane
eka cauthi dhana dila kutumba-bharane
brahmana-vaisnave-to the brahmanas and Vaisnavas; dila-gave as charity; tara-of the riches; ardha-dhane-fifty percent; eka cauthi dhana-one-fourth of the riches; dila-gave; kutumba-bharane-to satisfy the relatives.
This is a practical example of how one should divide his money and retire from household life. Fifty percent of one's money should be distributed to qualified and pure devotees of the Lord. Twenty-five percent may be given to family members, and twenty-five percent may be kept for personal use in case of emergency.
