וְאָכַלְתָּ֞ לִפְנֵ֣י ׀ יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ בַּמָּק֣וֹם אֲשֶׁר־יִבְחַר֮ לְשַׁכֵּ֣ן שְׁמ֣וֹ שָׁם֒ מַעְשַׂ֤ר דְּגָֽנְךָ֙ תִּֽירֹֽשְׁךָ֣ וְיִצְהָרֶ֔ךָ וּבְכֹרֹ֥ת בְּקָרְךָ֖ וְצֹאנֶ֑ךָ לְמַ֣עַן תִּלְמַ֗ד לְיִרְאָ֛ה אֶת־יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ כׇּל־הַיָּמִֽים׃

And you shall eat before Hashem your God, in the place that He will choose to make His Name dwell there, the tithe of your grain, of your wine and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock, in order that you may learn to fear Hashem your God all the days.

Core Text
לְשַׁכֵּן שְׁמוֹ שָׁם – כְּתִיב כָּאן וְאָכַלְתָּ לִפְנֵי ה' ... מַעְשַׂר דְּגָנְךָ, וּכְתִיב בִּשְׁלָמִים וְזָבַחְתָּ שְׁלָמִים וְאָכַלְתָּ שָׁם, מִכָּאן לִשְׁלָמִים שֶׁבָּאִים מִן הַמַּעֲשֵׂר.

English: "To make His Name dwell there" — It is written here "and you shall eat before Hashem ... the tithe of your grain," and it is written concerning shelamim "and you shall sacrifice shelamim and eat there"; from here we learn that shelamim may be brought from the money of ma’aser sheni.

On the daf / in context: The preferred use of ma’aser-sheni funds is the purchase of shelamim that are eaten in joy before Hashem.
