Merits of Cow-Gift and the Origin-Account of Kapilā Cows
न मित्रधुडनैकृतिक: कृतघ्नः शठो<नृजुर्धर्मविद्वेषकश्न । न ब्रह्महा मनसापि प्रपश्येद् गवां लोकं पुण्यकृतां निवासम्
na mitradhruḍ anaitṛtikaḥ kṛtaghnaḥ śaṭho 'nṛjur dharmavidveṣakaś ca | na brahmahā manasāpi prapaśyed gavāṁ lokaṁ puṇyakṛtāṁ nivāsam ||
قال بهيشما: من يخون الأصدقاء، ويعمل بلا استقامة، ويكون جاحدًا للمعروف، مخادعًا، معوجًّا، معاديًا للدارما—بل وحتى قاتلَ براهمي—لا يستطيع، حتى في الخاطر، أن يُبصر عالم الأبقار (غولوكا)، وهو مقامٌ مُعدّ لمن اكتسبوا الفضل.

Educational Q&A
Moral character determines spiritual destiny: treachery, ingratitude, deceit, hostility to dharma, and grave violence such as brahma-hatyā block access to exalted realms like Goloka, which are reserved for the meritorious.
In Bhīṣma’s instruction discourse (Anuśāsana Parva), he lists disqualifying vices and declares that a person burdened with such faults cannot attain or even envision Goloka, described as the abode of the virtuous.
