Cyavana’s Yogic Display and Kuśika’s Recognition of Tapas (च्यवन-योगप्रभावः कुशिकस्य तपःप्रशंसा च)

इत्येतद्‌ गोषु मे प्रोक्त माहात्म्यं भरतर्षभ । गुणैकदेशवचनं शक्‍यं पारायणं न तु

ity etad goṣu me proktaṃ māhātmyaṃ bharatarṣabha | guṇaikadeśavacanaṃ śakyaṃ pārāyaṇaṃ na tu ||

Así pues, oh toro entre los Bháratas, te he hablado de la grandeza de las vacas. Sin embargo, lo que he dicho no es sino un relato parcial de sus virtudes; puede mencionarse una parte, mas no recitarse ni agotarse el todo en su plenitud.

Educational Q&A

The speaker concludes that the virtues and sacred excellence attributed to cows are immeasurable: one may describe only a portion of their qualities, but a complete, exhaustive account is beyond full recitation.

After delivering a discourse on the māhātmya (glory) of cows, the speaker addresses the listener as ‘bharatarṣabha’ and formally closes by stating that what has been said is only a partial enumeration of virtues, not the entirety.
