Go-apahāra (Cattle Theft), Go-dāna (Cow-Gift), and Suvarṇa-dakṣiṇā (Gold Fee): Karmic Consequence and Purificatory Merit
सता समागम: सद्िर्नाफल: पार्थ विद्यते | विमुक्तं नरकात् पश्य नृगं साधुसमागमात्
satā samāgamaḥ sadbhir nāphalaḥ pārtha vidyate | vimuktaṃ narakāt paśya nṛgaṃ sādhusamāgamāt ||
হে পাৰ্থ, সজ্জনৰ সঙ্গ কেতিয়াও নিষ্ফল নহয়। চোৱা—সাধুসমাগমৰ ফলত ৰজা নৃগ নৰকৰ পৰা মুক্ত হ’ল।
