एवंविधे तु यत्पात्रे गामेकां तु प्रयच्छति । समानवत्सां कपिलां धेनुं सर्वगुणान्विताम्
evaṃvidhe tu yatpātre gāmekāṃ tu prayacchati | samānavatsāṃ kapilāṃ dhenuṃ sarvaguṇānvitām
આવા સુપાત્રને દાન આપતાં એક ગાય અર્પણ કરવી જોઈએ—વાછરડાં સહિત, કપિલા (તામ્રવર્ણ) દૂધાળ ધેનુ, સર્વગુણસંપન્ન.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A tawny kapilā cow with a calf stands adorned with garlands; a worthy, tranquil recipient receives the gift as the donor pours water (saṅkalpa) beside a lamp and kalasha; the coastal Prabhāsa shrine silhouette anchors the scene.
In sacred charity, both the worthiness of the recipient and the integrity/quality of the gift matter.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, where go-dāna is taught as a high-merit act when properly performed.
Offer a kapilā dhenu (tawny milch-cow) along with her calf, and ensure the cow has good qualities.
