नात: पुण्यतरं दानं॑ नात: पुण्यतरं फलम् | नातो विशिष्ट लोकेषु भूतं॑ भवितुमरहति,गोदानसे बढ़कर कोई पवित्र दान नहीं है। गोदानके फलसे श्रेष्ठ दूसरा कोई फल नहीं है तथा संसारमें गौसे बढ़कर दूसरा कोई उत्कृष्ट प्राणी नहीं है
Transliteration
nātaḥ puṇyataraṁ dānaṁ nātaḥ puṇyataraṁ phalam | nāto viśiṣṭaṁ lokeṣu bhūtaṁ bhavitum arhati |
Translation
قال فاسيشثا: «لا هبةَ أبرَّ من هبةِ البقرة، ولا ثمرةَ أبرَّ من الثمرة التي تنشأ عن تلك الهبة. وفي جميع العوالم لا يوجد كائنٌ يَحِقّ أن يُعَدَّ أسمى من البقرة.»
