Translate the following text from the पद्मपुराण regarding gifts to Brahmins:
क्षितिं सशस्यां यो दद्याद्ब्राह्मणाय द्विजोत्तम ।
विष्णुलोके सुखं भुङ्क्ते यावदिन्द्राश्चतुर्दश ॥१॥
सप्तद्वीपां महीं दत्त्वा यत्पुण्यं प्राप्यते द्विज ।
तत्पुण्यं प्राप्नुयान्मर्त्यो धेनुं यच्छन्द्विजातये ॥२॥
तिलप्रमाणं स्वर्णं यो ब्राह्मणाय प्रयच्छति ।
हरिनिकेतनं याति युक्तं कोटिकुलैरपि ॥३॥
सालङ्कारां द्विजश्रेष्ठ कन्यां यच्छति यो नरः ।
स गच्छेद्ब्रह्मसदनं पुनर्जन्म न विद्यते ॥४॥
अन्नं वारि द्विजश्रेष्ठ येन दत्तम् महीतले ।
तेन दत्तानि दानानि सर्वाणि च द्विजर्षभ ॥५॥
Best of the Twice-Born! He who gives the earth along with its crops to a Brahmin enjoys the world of Viṣṇu as long as fourteen Indras. Twice-Born! The merit that one who gives away the entire world with its seven continents acquires, that does a mortal who gives a cow to a Brahmin. He who gives gold to a Brahmin as small as a sesame seed comes to the city of residence of Haris (Viṣṇu) together with 10 million families. Best of the Twice-Born! A man who gives a girl along with jewelry (to a Brahmin) comes to the seat of Brahmā and has no more rebirth. Best of the Twice-Born! He who has given food and water on the surface of the earth has given all gifts, Bull among the Twice-Born!
