Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 36
एवं शप्त्वा तदा विप्रावन्यस्मै गां प्रदाय तौ । क्षुधितौ खेदसंयुक्तौ स्वगृहं गन्तुमुद्यतौ
evaṃ śaptvā tadā viprāvanyasmai gāṃ pradāya tau | kṣudhitau khedasaṃyuktau svagṛhaṃ gantumudyatau
وهكذا بعدما أوقعا اللعنة، سلَّمَ البراهمنانِ البقرةَ إلى مُستحقٍّ آخر. وقد أصابهما الجوعُ والإعياءُ، فانطلقا قاصدَينِ الرجوعَ إلى بيتهما.

FAQs
Dāna must be handled with clarity and justice; unresolved disputes around gifts can become causes of sin and suffering.
Dvārakā is the sacred narrative frame in which this dharma-episode is recounted.
Go-dāna (gift of a cow) appears as the relevant charitable act, central to the dispute’s aftermath.
