Sringeri Jagadguru explains from Brihadaranyaka Upanishad on 'Da Da Da' (Kannada):
Sri Mahasannidhanam explained an Upanishadic description of Lord Brahma instructing the Devas, Asuras and humans. Lord Brahma gave them all the same Upadesha - a single syllable - “द”.
The Devas understood this as “दाम्यता” (the quality of controlling the senses). As the gods are always immersed in happiness, they will never have the inclination to engage in Brahma Vichara (enquiry about Brahman). Whether one is a god or a human, liberation comes about only on engaging in Brahma Vichara. That the Devas too are eligible for liberation by engaging in Brahma Vichara has been stated by Bhagavan Veda Vyasa in His Brahma Sutra - तदुपर्यपि बादरायण: सम्भवात्. Hence the Devas understood the Upadesha to represent the quality of controlling their senses and engaging in enquiry on the Truth.
Lord Brahma next asked the humans as to their understanding of the Upadesha, the humans replied “दत्त” i.e. engage in charity. This is because humans have a tendency to accumulate wealth and rarely does man get the inclination to engage in charity.
Sri Neelakantha Deekshita describes this attitude of man thus - If Man has sufficient wealth, he does not hesitate to lend a lumpsum amount for high interest rates, but when it comes to engaging in Karmas prescribed by the Shastras, he asks, “Is it not enough if I spend a little amount?”
People believe in documents and lend money on the basis of documents. However people refuse to have belief in the Shastras that state that you get back tenfold when you engage in charity. Once a man came to another and asked for a loan of Rs. 100. The second man agreed but said he would only give Rs. 90 and would need Rs. 110 the next month along with interest. A third man saw the agreement happen but was surprised to say both of them in a happy mood. When he enquired the second man, the latter said, “I am happy because I have earned Rs. 20 in an instant.” The first man upon enquiry said, “I have earned Rs. 90 in an instant for I have no intention of paying of paying back.” The Jagadguru thus pointed out that man’s greed and said humans understood the Upadesha of Lord Brahma as a directive to engage in charity.
When the Rakshasas were asked, they replied that they had understood the Upadesha to mean “दयध्वम्” i.e Be compassionate. Rakshasas by nature do not have compassion and hence such an instruction to them.
When writing His Bhashya on this section of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada has said, “Those talked of as gods, humans and demons actually represent humans of different nature. The instruction to control senses is for those humans who are always engaged in the pleasures of the senses. Those men who do not have an iota of compassion are equivalent to Rakshasas and it is for them that the instruction to cultivate compassion was given.” So we must not think that only the instruction of engaging in charity was meant for us humans. The other two are also meant for humans if they have the respective attributes associated with the gods and demons.

Three “da” (ದ in Kannada) दाम्यता Damyata. For devatas who are always enjoying. Develop control of senses and seek moksha. दत्त Datta. For humans who are always amassing material wealth. Be generous and donate or do charity to a needy cause. दयध्वम् Dayadhvam. For raakshasas (demons) who are harming others. Show “daya” or compassion to others and stop hurting others The message by Sri Adi Shankaracharya is that these attributes (gunas) are in us and we should apply each teaching to our own lives and improve or overcome bad habits.

Need clarification, "If she does not willingly yield her body to him, he should buy her with presents. If she is still unyielding, he should strike her with a stick or with his hand and overcome her, repeating the following mantra: "With power and glory I take away your glory." Brihadaarnyaka Upanishad 6.4.7

[@gangarajgowda3701]

This is a ritualistic act, not like holding her hair and beating around in public for not obeying for sex. This is between husband and wife, not between two strangers, so the act of striking is with love. Read Kamasutra to understand the sexuality aspects between two people who call themselves as ardhanareeshwara.
