Cows and Ghee as Supreme Purifiers
इदं गवां प्रभवविधानमुत्तमं पठन् सदाशुचिरपि मंगलप्रिय: । विमुच्यते कलिकलुषेण मानव: श्रियं सुतान् धनपशुमाप्तुयात् सदा,गौओंकी उत्पत्तिसे सम्बन्ध रखनेवाली इस उत्तम कथाका सदा पाठ करनेवाला मनुष्य अपवित्र हो तो भी मंगलप्रिय हो जाता है और कलियुगके सारे दोषोंसे छूट जाता है। इतना ही नहीं, उसे पुत्र, लक्ष्मी, धन तथा पशु आदिकी सदा प्राप्ति होती है
idam gavāṁ prabhavavidhānam uttamaṁ paṭhan sadāśucir api maṅgalapriyaḥ | vimucyate kalikaluṣeṇa mānavaḥ śriyaṁ sutān dhana-paśum āptuyāt sadā ||
Bhishma said: Whoever regularly recites this excellent account describing the origin and proper understanding of cattle becomes a lover of auspiciousness even if he is not ritually pure. Such a person is released from the defilements associated with the Kali age, and continually attains prosperity—children, fortune, wealth, and livestock.

Reverent recitation of a dharmic account—here, the exalted narrative concerning the origin and significance of cows—purifies the practitioner, generates auspicious disposition, and is said to counteract the moral/ritual taints associated with Kali-yuga, yielding both spiritual cleansing and worldly well-being.
Bhishma concludes a section praising the sanctity and dharmic value of cows by stating the fruit (phala) of studying/reciting this account: even an impure person becomes inclined to auspiciousness, is freed from Kali-age defilements, and gains ongoing prosperity such as offspring, fortune, wealth, and livestock.
