= dakṣiṇā-ādeś°), assignment (to someone other than the donor or performer) of the profit from gifts or works of merit (see s.v. ādiśati): Divy 〔239.2—3〕 °nam (made by the recipient of alms-food) [Page261-a] api bhayagṛhīto 'śrutvā
Divy 〔179.20〕 bhagavān dakṣinādeśanāṃ kṛtvā prakrāntaḥ
〔190.9〕, similarly, °nāṃ kṛtvā prakrāntaḥ
