Chapter 84: Brahmā’s Counsel on Tāraka, the Search for Agni, and the Genesis of Skanda
Kārttikeya
एवमेता महाभागा यज्ञिया: सर्वकामदा: । रोहिण्य इति जानीहि नैताभ्यो विद्यते परम्,इस प्रकार ये महाभाग्यशालिनी गौएँ यज्ञका प्रधान अंग हैं और सबको सम्पूर्ण कामनाएँ देनेवाली हैं। तुम इन्हें रोहिणी समझो। इनसे बढ़कर दूसरा कुछ नहीं है
evam etā mahābhāgā yajñiyāḥ sarvakāmadāḥ | rohiṇya iti jānīhi naitābhyo vidyate param ||
Dijo Vyāsa: Así, estas vacas sumamente bienaventuradas son parte esencial de los ritos del yajña y dispensadoras de todo bien deseado. Sabed que se las conoce como «Rohiṇī»; nada las supera.

Educational Q&A
The verse elevates cows as supremely valuable within dharma: they are portrayed as central to yajña and as beneficent givers of welfare. Ethically, it promotes reverence, protection, and generous support of such life-sustaining beings as a high religious duty.
Vyāsa is instructing the listener about the exceptional status of certain cows, naming them ‘Rohiṇīs’ and asserting their unsurpassed importance—especially in relation to sacrificial rites and the granting of desired goods.
