Uitleg
A gift is tamasic when it is given at the wrong place or time, to unworthy recipients, without respect, or with contempt. Such giving may cause harm or humiliation rather than help. The verse completes the threefold picture of dāna. Across the three verses, Krishna shows that the same outward act of giving can uplift, bind or degrade, depending on motive, circumstance and the attitude shown to the person who receives.
