सदक्षिणां काञउ्चनचारुशंगीं कांस्योपदोहां द्रविणोत्तरीयाम् । धेनुं तिलानां ददतो द्विजाय लोका वसूनां सुलभा भवन्ति,“जो मनुष्य सोनेके सुन्दर सींग बनवाकर और द्रव्यमय उत्तरीय देकर कांस्यमय दुग्धपात्र तथा दक्षिणासहित तिलकी थधेनुका ब्राह्मणको दान करता है, उसे वसुओंके लोक सुलभ होते हैं

Vaiśampāyana said: For one who gives to a Brahmin a ‘sesame-cow’ donation—complete with a proper honorarium (dakṣiṇā), adorned with beautiful golden horns, accompanied by a bronze vessel for milking, and with a valuable upper garment—the worlds of the Vasus become readily attainable.
